Walking Like Egyptians #1
Well, we're here, on vacation in Cairo... and it is HOT! And full of amazing sights!
Here we are at the base of the Great Pyramid of Giza, which seems to infinitely stretch upward:
Here's the view of Cairo from the Pyramids:
Doug, Ethan & Maranatha enjoyed a camel ride...
... and we all got to see the famously noseless Sphinx:
It's quite an incredible thing to be walking around in Giza and glance up to see the only remaining wonder of the ancient world:
The boys actually climbed up into the Great Pyramid with Doug (climbing up a shaft to the Gallery & Burial Chamber for King Cheops):
Here's the view from our balcony (not too shabby!):
We all enjoyed watching the sun set for the first night of Ramadan:

I'd always wondered how big they look up close. Big.
Wow! How awesome! Talk about getting to learn about and experience history!! Our girls just studied about Cheops and the Great Pyramid at Giza two weeks ago. I can't wait to show them the pics. They will be so excited! Thanks for sharing. Keep sharing, please!
I love those pictures so much! Such a precious time with family! I love the sunset one with the pyramids in the background! Beautiful!
