Family Adventures

My family has come to visit. Mom, Dad, Hannah, Elizabeth, & Matt. The whole shebang. (she-bangs, she-bangs!) Well, we are short two sisters, but it's pretty darn close. First day, we took them to the big attractions, the Giza Pyramid complex and the Sphinx. Of course, everyone did the classic photo opps.


Matt was left out of this collage above because there wasn't enough room for him. We don't love him as much, sorry, it's the truth. That and his picture turned out REALLY awful; eyes closed, mouth half-open, think DMV photo, but at an ancient necropolis. But this next batch at the bluff was very flattering for all. It was a beautiful day to visit the Pyramids. Very clear, AND there weren't very many tourists. No, we're not tourists, we live here. BIG difference.

Over to the partially revamped Sphinx. Now, there is no need to buy a separate ticket. Nice. And there are boardwalk trails all over. They did the same thing at the main Pyramids. No more shuffling through sand or tripping over huge boulders sticking out. There was an odd sight, though. A camera crew was at the foot of it, doing panning shots and filming for something. What, I don't know. I tried yelling at the crew to find out what they were doing it for, but they didn't respond. (wouldn't or couldn't, don't know.) And Matt did his "tourist pose" for us all. He can be quite a ham. Also, you'll see Hannah making out with the Sphinx on the bottom row. Digits were exchanged, we'll see who calls who! More adventures to come.
