Today we went to the most famous places in Egypt: The pyramids, The Sphinx, and the Egyptian museum. It was awesome! The pyramids were amazing! They were so huge! The largest one covers 13 acres! It was so cool! I've always wanted to see the pyramids. Then we saw the sphinx whose nose was allegedly shot off by Napoleon's troops. That was awesome to. Then we had a yummy lunch of hamburgers and Falafels. Then we went to the Egyptian museum. My favorite part was all of the stuff that was in Tutankhamen's tomb. They had 5 chariots, some beds (Including the Pharaoh's so called 'camping bed' which is a folding bed), some games, chairs, boxes and more. But the most impressive and beautiful was Tutankhanen's funeral mask. I really liked it and I've seen so many pictures of it. Then we navigated through the horrible traffic back to our hotel.

seriously Em.. some of our most favorite memories came while in Cairo amongs the traffic. Can you beleive that in one day we had the same taxi driver twice... at different times of the day. Uncle Gerry had a blast along with that driver yelling "yalla" "yalla" out the window. the spelling is probably way off.. but "yalla" pretty much means "hurry up". have a most fantastic time with Mohammad and give him a warm hello from us when you see him.

Ah! You guys are in Egypt! I wish I could be your tour guide. Seeing the few pictures you put up makes me miss it....even though Cairo is crazy maddness 24/7 except on Friday mornings. Have an amazing time and say a big hello to Mohammed!
