Day 3

Our day started early to see the Pyramids and the Sphinx!!!! I can’t tell you the excitement I felt upon seeing that cat! Had fun taking some silly pics and wondered around the area. Being Friday, kids are out of school and the govt suggested they go see the pyramids as well. Then it was on to the camels. Steve had Mickey and I was on Pepsi. It was fun and got some other views of the pyramids. Many had been destroyed and only ruins remained. As we were trying to get to the restaurant, the streets were packed with people and cars in a huge jam. I am still in amazement. After a very filling lunch, we were off to the Egyptian Museum (old). The new one opened in October but only a soft opening…not taking huge groups. Dang it. So many of the items have already been moved. Made a stop to do jewelry shopping but am not quite ready to do any buying. I have to remember I only came with my backpack. Hahah. Tomorrow , we have a wake up call at 0230 and a plane to catch at 4. We are flying to Luxor and heading to Aswan. Today I am grateful for fulfilling a long time dream of seeing the Sphinx, grateful for the delicious food and grateful for hopefully getting to bed early.Read more
