Egypt, continued

This is our family in front of the second pyramid. Note the size of the stones. From a distance I thought the blocks were small, but realize now they are about as big as Marin. It's like when I was a little girl and we would be driving in the country and see fields of corn. I never believed that the stalks were taller than me, but my dad always said that they were. Well, one day while driving my dad stopped (big deal for my dad, he didn't like to stop for ANYTHING!). He let me get out and stand next to a corn stalk. Wow, they were really tall. That's how I felt about the pyramid stones.
If you look closely at Brett you will notice he has a cloth on his head with a band around it. He actually looks like an Egyptian (ok, maybe not). Anyway Brett got "accosted" by the people selling these things. He even looked to our security guide for assistance. He just laughed. Needless to say, Brett bought 2 of them and was given another one from a friend. The kids loved them so much that he bought more! Never thought it would be such a big hit!

Camel rides. This was a great trip! These animals are HUGE! Brett, Sophie and Max got up without a problem. I got on my camel and then the guide was placing Marin up when the camel started to stand. He quickly let go of Marin to grab hold of the camel. the bad thing was, Marin was not completely up on the camel when he let go of her. Thankfully, we were able to scooch her on correctly, but it took us a few minutes until we were comfortable. I don't know how they rode these animals for long journeys.
