My Pyramids

This weekend was devoted to seeing the ancient Egyptian sites around Cairo. On Thursday we went to the Egyptian museum. It was really awesome to see ancient artifacts including King Tut's head covering. So COOL!
On Friday we went to Memphis to see Sakkara and the step pyramid as well as a lot of tombs with hieroglyphs. Some of the spaces to get to the tombs were really small and it was so much fun to go through the tunnels.
Saturday was our trip to the pyramids!! They were absolutely amazing. We were among the first 150 people in line so we were able to get tickets to go INTO the great pyramid. The climb up was really scary and there wasn't much air flow in the pyramid - but it was TOTALLY worth it! I still can't believe I was IN the great pyramid. The sphinx was pretty amazing as well.
Now it is back to school for a couple days before we head to Luxor to see the valley of the kings and then Hurgada for some beach time! I hope everyone is having a fabulous November and has a great Thanksgiving!
