Katie: You would never know it and can't tell form this picture, but the great Pyramids of Giza sit just outside of Cairo, on the western edge of town. In fact if the pollution is not too bad I can see them from the autostrad on my way home from work some days.
The Sphinx kissing Ruby on the head. The sphinx is a lion body with a pharaoh's head. His nose is worn off because of the wind.
Soooo cheesy!
Ruby and Paul in a carriage in front of the smallest pyramid at Giza which is called Menkaure.
Ruby and an Egyptian friend in front of the step pyramid in Saqqara.
A guy harvesting dates in Saqqara
Ruby riding a camel around the step pyramid at Dahshur
I think some people said they would pay money to see Paul on a camel - I'm expecting to cash in big on this. Peg???
Those pics are great (except one very important person was missing - where is the Katie riding a camel or kissing a sphinx photo??) Looks amazing. Too bad about the polution blocking the pyramids somedays...they need to plant more corn. :) Love to all, Bobo
ReplyDeleteAwesome photos (except the pollution)!
ReplyDeleteBut oh my, the way the cart is hooked to the horse scares me on sooooo many levels. That horse must be dead broke. Or dead. Or broke. The way it's rigged, the weight is being pushed UPWARD into the horse's cinch (ouch!) rather than downward on the shoulders/withers. And then IF the horse decided it hurt too much and bolted, no one is holding the lines (reins) to stop the train wreck... Glad you all are okay.
France update?
