Our New Years Day was spent in Giza. The 3 Great Pyramids were built in approximately 3500 B.C. They are an awe inspiring sight, One of the Seven Wonders of the World! The Sphinx, built to protect the tombs within the Pyramids, is an amazing structure carved out of a single block of limestone. Then of course, I had to test my skills at riding a camel. All went excellent!!! Our tour guides, set up through The Future University in Egypt, are most welcoming, knowledgeable, and patient!!! In addition to imparting close to 6000 years of history to us, they are attempting to sharpen our skills at the Arabic Language. Shokran and Salen. (Thank You and Goodbye) for now.
P.S. Happy Birthday to Dave Lebo!!!!! We will be celebrating tonight at Fayruz Lebanese Restaurant!!!
