I Came to Egypt to Pick the Sphinx's Nose

On Friday, my group went to a camel market [where they buy and sell camels - like an auction] before heading to the pyramids.

Later we went to Giza pyramids on the outskirts of Cairo where several are counted the largest structures ever built.


The Pyramid of Khufu at Giza is the largest Egyptian pyramid and is the only one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World still in existence.


As of 2008, there were 138 pyramids discovered in Egypt.


The pyramids were built around 700 years before Abraham visited Egypt.




THE PYRAMIDS!


Leah riding her camel

Laughing as Anne gets on Moses

Yeah!




This way of riding assured I would not fall off of Moses

Naomi and Cambria riding their horses... Naomi was a bit nervous but it was Cambria's horse that tripped and fell throwing Cambria to the ground. No worries, Cambria did live.

Moments of fear while riding Moses



Legitimately terrified


It sprinkled for some of the time while we road the camels but really who is complaining?

My life is pretty great

Sugar was this character's name and he was a bit sleepy


Camels with the city as their backdrop


The pyramids and all their glory

Holy Moses

Moses: "Get over here Anne and give me a kiss!"
Anne: "Oh gosh Moses, here? Now?"

Moses apologizing to Leah for kicking her off at the beginning

Moses smiling at me

"The T-shirt"

We LOVE the pyramids

Jumping over the pyramids

Anne and I climbed the pyramid

Am I REALLY here?
