Pyramids, Pyramids, Pyramids (11.1.07)

Unfinished buildings don't pay property taxes:

Anyone want to marry Ali? He's looking for a green card :)

On Thursday morning I jumped back in with both feet into seeing the sights around Cairo. The folks at Let Me Inn arranged a driver for Jessie (Australia) and I, and we set out at around 9:30 am for the Pyramids at Giza. The itenerary was Giza, Dahshur (the Bent Pyramid and the Red Pyramid) and the Pyramids at Saqqara. I didn't learn to much history about the sites from our guides, and we tried to read a bit about them in our books, but I am just going to leave this entry as a photo journal and let you guys enjoy their majesty.

Looking forward to hearing that you are now safely in Dubai in some beautiful hotel...

Had an office retreat to the Theriot villa by the lake -- we sure missed you and wondered what you were up to.

Know you're missed and loved!
