This morning, we took a little trip we’ve been meaning to take for three months. Our friend Mohammed drove us to Giza to see the Pyramids. When we got pretty close, a guy stopped us and offered to take us around the site by horse and carriage. We’re not sure we got a great deal, but we got to see the sights. First, we paid the carriage people for our little carriage and for a horse for Mohammed to ride. Then we had to buy tickets from the ticket booth to get into the Pyramid area. Then the carriage driver stopped to let us ride his friend’s camel for a minute or two, so we got to pay that guy, too. Lee Anna wasn't too sure about being up on top of that big old camel. He was a little tall for her liking!
Then they let me ride Mohammed’s horse with the other guide, so we paid that guy a little. Oh, and we had to tip our guide when we got back.
The Pyramids are really huge. Until 1889 when the Eiffel Tower was built, they were were the oldest man-made structure on earth. All in all, it was fun to go act like tourists for a few hours. All the people out there seemed surprised to hear us speaking Arabic to them.
