Egypt: What surprised you the most?


Biggest surprise of the entire trip . . . the Pyramids are in the middle of the city. Technically it's between two cities - Cairo and Giza, but it's basically the equivalent of having them in Nora Plaza. There were some Doctor's offices that we no more than 500 yards from one pyramid, and there's a Kentucky Fired Chicken about 1000 yards away from the Sphinx. Is that urban planning at its finest or what?

Actually it was a good thing that the KFC was there - the water they were selling close to the pyramids wasn't the most reliable - and we were thirsty after a couple of hours out there.

Oh yeah, and I figured out how to add video easily to my website - check out the video I took.
