A day at the pyramids

What is a trip to Egypt without pyramids? I was pretty stoked to see this amazing wonder of the world! I cannot believe how massive the pyramids are. It was truly breathtaking...it was everything I dreamt of as a kid. I could hardly keep my enthusiasm down. It was just entirely a dream come true. My sister and I practically cried tears of joy from the excitement of seeing the pyramids up close. Being able to actually touch it and say "I was here" was pretty amazing and worth every dollar I spent getting to Egypt! I have so many more photos but thought I'd post just a few of the snapshots I got! And what is a trip to Egypt without a shoot in front of the pyramids? The location was at the Mena House - an old palace which is very close to the pyramids.

The King and his family

For some reason Julie has seemed to avoid all my picture taking. I know my sister has 1 or 2 images of her. Next time....next time she is gonna be in photos with me!!!! These are photos of me and Yaz and his 2 kiddo's. Their hospitality was so wonderful and I thoroughly enjoyed hanging with them and staying with them when I wasn't at the Mena House. I have known Yaz since *I think* 2004. I have been "threatening" him with a visit to Egypt and I finally managed to go! I'm so glad that I did. His kids are just wonderful and I had an amazing time with both of them. Amerah is my little bargainer and I just loved that. She is a good dancer, too. I have some great memories with the King of the Nile family! I have so many more photos and videos to show. This may take days to tell all the stories!

Back from Egypt

One image of me in a custom made costume by Yaz at King of the Nile! This was taken at the Mena House in Egypt.

I didn't post to my blog because I couldn't understand the arabic and couldn't get logged in. I gave up. So I emailed my family & friends stories throughout the time I was there. I still cannot believe I was actually there!

I will have many stories to post. Losing my egyptian cell phone in the back of a taxi, my egyptian stalker, the marriage proposal and wedding certificate, eating, side trips, 2 cruises, 8 of us in a car, shoe shopping with Mostafa, temples, belly dancing, the pharmacy, orphanages, hantoor ride, "George", losing 20 lbs, Big Daddy and so much more. Too many stories to tell. 21 days of total insanity. What a fabulous time. I am still in shock that I got to go and I think that Egypt is now my favorite place!
