Well today was fun, what else can I say. I went to the pyramids and had the tour on a camel! First we went in a taxi and met the boys we were going with (Peter and Billy) somewhere in downtown Cairo, then it was off in another taxi to head to Giza. When we are almost to Giza we picked up what we came to find out was our tour guide off the side of the street. He sat in front seat on Peter's lap. It wasn't until we got to the gate that we realized he was our tour guide. We waited around and then our camels and horses showed up. Into the Sahara desert we go. Luckily it was a pretty nice day, no sand storm but a nice little breeze. Although I did come home with a red face.
The scariest part about riding the camel was going up and down to get on and off. I felt like I was going to fall off every time. I had a mini tour guide along with the other. Mohamed was an 8 year old little boy who was adorable as can be, sitting in front of me on my camel directing my camel and the camel behind me. We went all over the Sahara and saw the pyramids and the Sphinx. We got to get off several times to take pictures and also got a little mini tour of the tombs and got to climb a little up one of the pyramids to take pictures.
It was neat to see Cairo meet the Sahara. You look one way and see the city in the distance and you look the other way and it was all desert. I had so much fun today! look for pics on facebook!
After the long day in the desert we went for lunch and a break before church. Church was amazing!!!! I l have only been there twice but I absolutely love it!
