My travel itinerary on Egypt Air featured an 11-hour layover on the way over, which provided time for a quick tour of the pyramids and the national museum.
The Meridas were traveling on the same itinerary to pick up their son Eyasu, who is from the same orphanage as our kids. Tony is an eastern Kentucky boy like myself, and we had a great time together.
You ever wonder what the Great Sphinx stares at all day long? Why, a KFC/Pizza Hut, of course!

We also went to the national museum, but you are not allowed to take photos there. The coolest thing at the museum was the King Tut collection. Having been a history teacher and seen lots of pictures of all the artifacts that were buried in King Tut's tomb, it was very awesome to see them up close and in person.

Wow. WAY cool.
Same pictures we have, without you in them though! It sure is fun to see that stuff. Keep blogging.....I am waiting for more.
How cool!
We saw the traveling Tut exhibit in Chicago a few years ago. It was very impressive, but I'm sure nothing like the collection there.
