Yesterday was a long day so I didn't get on the computer last night so I am posting now. We drove on a bus 3 hours from Alexandria to Cairo and to Giza we saw the pyramids which are quite amazing but one of those things you can say you saw and be done with it. You can't tell from the pictures but right behind the pyramids is the city, they are right on the edge of the city and yet look like they are in the middle of the desert. We also had a buffet lunch, a papyrus making center and the Egyptian museum which has all the artifacts found in King Tut's tomb. That was interesting but the museum was hot, stuffy and crowded so at the end of a long day it was hard to concentrate. We got back on board at 9pm had quick supper and couldn't wait to go to bed.
The Great pyramid of Giza was also one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. Two down and five to go.
