Well, last week my wife and I were able to cross an item off of our bucket list - seeing the Great Pyramid in Giza, Egypt. We had an opportunity to sort of "jump" on over there and in short, it was an absolutely amazing experience! So, here are the pics:
1. We stated at the Marriott Mena House at Giza. This was the view from our hotel room.
2. This is my wife and I on the side of the Great Pyramid. We were about six block layers up.
3. A picture from the ground (telephoto lens) our tour guide took... I like it because it shows the scale of the Pyramid.
4. My wife and I riding camels and a good photo op...
5. The Sphynx and Khafre's pyramid
6. The Sphynx
7. Inside the Egyptian Museum in Cairo
8. King Tut's mask
9. The Alabaster Mosque
There were more pictures, but you get the idea. It was a fantastic trip, but I didn't realize how few people actually get to go and make the trip. So, here is a little window into our adventures. Enjoy!
