My Visit to the Giza Pyramids in Cairo, Egypt

So the site seeing in Cairo continues and it is wonderful.

On Saturday, August 8, we tried get up and out early - 8 a.m. - to head over to the Giza Pyramids. However, because of a pickup location snafu, we did not hit the road until around 9 a.m. We were trying to beat the heat and the crowds. The heat was not so bad ... but there were lots of folks there.

We also went to see the Sphinx. Incredible.

Just throwing out some highlights on this "Trip to the Giza Pyramids" slide show (click the link to see a full view of the slide show. The captions are in a larger font on the main slide show page).

Thanks for looking.

We ate a numerous restaurants and every meal has been tasty. I've come to like a beverage called a lemon juice ... not quite lemonade and not quite just lemon and water; it's a little sweet and frothy. It is sometimes served w/fresh mint.

Well ... enjoy this set of pics, but know that there are more on the way.
