Hello again,
I just read the comments from Ashley and Letha.....
Sorry guys, as I explained I haven't been able to get to a computer....they don't really have access at the pyramids, and as for the pictures, we only have Ed's work computer and we can't load them on it. So pictures will come when I get home.....I have lots.

Camels........let me tell you about camels. I was tickled to be on the streets of Giza heading for the pyramids and see men on camels right there on the streets next to the cars and some little carts being pulled by donkeys. When you get the the road that is the entrance to the pyramid complex there are armed guards sitting on camels and horses....military men.....to protect the pyramids. Hilarious. When I mentioned this to one of Ed's Egyptian co-workers he laughed and said that he takes his kids to the pyramids to see the camels because they aren't anywhere else in Egypt. I don't know if that is true, but I have not noticed any camels anywhere else.

With our guide we did not ride one. When we asked the first time he said no we would not ride there because they charge too much to get down. You can get up on one for 5 Egyptian Pounds (about a dollar) but they won't let you down until you give them whatever they think they can get out of you. After that I fell and hurt my foot so we didn't mention it again because I was in pain and we had a lot left to do in the day. There really isn't enough time.
