our first official day in Egypt was filled with pyramids, tombs and temples. Can it get any more Egyptian? I feel like I've said it a million times, but it felt so unreal. I could not believe that men made those vast, huge structures. After taking pictures at the Khufu pyramid, we went to Khafre's pyramid. The tunnel looked small, but I thought I could take it. Until the smell and the heat and the humidity met me at
the doorway. yuck. but... when would I ever get to go INSIDE a pyramid again. So in I went. downupdownleveluplevel. step after step. I made it. The tomb had been raided thousands of years ago, but it was still amazing nonetheless. leveldownlevelupdownup. I made it. air.Next stop was the pyramid overlook. total typical tourist trap, but great picture taking opportunity. T
hen on to the sphinx. It was also awesome. Also unreal. Off to the step pyramid of Zoser and his temple complex. I got my first glimpse of authentic hieroglyphs. They were so beautiful. I feel like I just keep describing everything the same way, but I can't help myself. There is no other way to describe it but amazing and
beautiful. And my brain is too busy to think of any other way to say it. You just had to be there I guess.another day in the works,

SO COOL!! I finally got some internet so I was able to look at your updates. Looks like you are having an amazing time!! I can't believe it is already October!!! You look so happy. Whitney is safely in the MTC and is loving it. Hope you are doing well. I will respond to your email soon with the latest happenings of my life.
Love you!!
P.s. I want your fanny pack
I am so jealous-the pyramids are on my top ten list of places that I want to go. I think I would have died of claustraphobia inside the pyramid. what is with the creepy doll in the picture...
Love that you have Midge there ... gives me a chuckle every time I think about it.
Egypt is amazing. Glad you made it "home" safe and sound though.
Can't wait to see what is next on the list of adventures. Makes me want to pull out my Jerusalem scrapbook and re-live all these adventures with you!
Love you sis!
I think you should go for America's top model with that pose. Sounds like you are having a wonderful time!
