It was nice to see familiar faces in Cairo; a personalized guided tour and best of all a Korean home cooked meal. So delicious. Thanks Mrs. Kim!

Got conned while visiting the pyramids in Giza. Overpaid. But looking back on it now I don't regret it. Definitely a learning experience. Can't always believe in the kindness of strangers. Sounds cynical but it's semantically true. I won't be as naive now, but I also won't let one negative experience ruin my image of a people or my trip. On the bright side I got a journey and a memory I'll never forget: a camel ride to the Giza pyramids, a 7 hour round trip horse ride past the Saqqara pyramids, seeing the sunset on horseback, and learning how to better protect myself: never ever pay large amounts by cash, only use credit cards.
They say NY cabbies are the best, but I don't think they have anything on the Egyptians.
That picture of you on the camel with the pyramids is awesome! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! We miss you!!!
