Day 2 - Cairo/Pyramids

March 8, 2009

Day 2 - Cairo - first the Egyptian Museum

Here's the Egyptian Museum - no pictures allowed inside

There was a scupture garden outside where they did allow pics

The inside is much more exciting - lots of mummies

Inside, we also saw all the treasures from King Tut's tomb

More pieces of the sculpture garden

Afternoon - pyramids

They are big

And they are old

People trying to sell you stuff at the pyramids

Pyramids from another angle

They're not so heavy!

Good shot

The 2 biggest ones

Matt and the pyramids

Erin and the pyramids

Camel time!!!

We bargained for our camels and off we went

Matt on his camel

It's a long way down

Requisite camel shot with the pyramids

Matt's camel is about to attack! (or maybe just yawn)

About to head back...

Action shot

The camel ride was pretty fun

On one side of the pyramids is Cairo, and the other is desert

Back near the pyramids

We went inside the middle one here

I like this picture

Now over to the sphinx

He's a lot bigger than he looks in the picture

Matt and the sphinx

Both of us

Smack!

His tail!

Lots of people here

This guy had nothing in his car; and he was still driving it!

A pretty mosque a few miles from our hotel
