Pyramids and Such




So Miguel and I slept through our alarm this morning and almost missed the bus to the Pyramids. Thank gods that Mary knocked on our door. We were ready and downstairs within five minutes. We rode camels to the Pyramids, touristy maybe but the most epic thing I've ever ridden in my life. I followed directions and "jumped like an American cowboy". Once on I realized there were no stirrups, unlike most of the other camels, and was told to cross my legs and ride like an arab. No big deal (cafe). My camera died pretty much as I took it out of my bag but enough pictures were taken anyway; dinosaurs in front of the Pyramids, kissing the Sphinx, standing on the camel. As we were leaving the camels guides tried to get extra tips, "something from your heart to mine to make me happy".
Lunch was outstanding. Chilled with C-rapp and had great Egyptian food. There was hardcore nappage going on the rest of the day and from now on Miguel and I are setting at least seven alarms. Off to roam the streets again!
