Days 84-86

After bidding my friends in Damascus goodbye, as well as the city itself, I have safely arrived in Cairo. The city is massive and I heard it was extremely dirty, but compared to Damascus it is spotless. Did I mention that I also got fed a meal on a hour and a half flight whilst in the US they starve you? Today I visited the Great Pyramids and Sphinx by camel, which was a lot of fun and of course I finally got to ride a camel. All in all it lasted about 3 hours After that my driver took us south to the Step Pyramid, Red Pyramid, and the Bent Pyramid. I got to go deep inside the Red Pyramid and as the interior of all the Pyramids is the same, it was just as if I was in the Great Pyramid with out paying an extra $10. I have lots of pictures up on Facebook, if anyone wants to see them email me or my parents and we can send you the public link for them. Tonight I'm taking a train to Luxor to see the many ruins there Karnak, Thebes, Vally of the Kings etc. Then tomorrow evening I will board the train back to Cairo to get there around 8AM then go see the Egyptian Museum, Old Cairo, and various other things that I want to see before I leave on Thursday. I will try and put an update on Wednesday then after that once again my blog will end as I am returning to the USA on Thursday and will arrive in Newark around 10PM.
