Alrigthy, time for the next installment of my adventures in Egypt! Okay, so we stayed the night in the Oasis Pyramids Hotel and we had to be all packed and moved out the next morning by like 7. So we ate breakfast, once again staying away from all the beautiful and delicious-looking fruits and such. It was so hard. Anyway, the weather was not so hot...it was windy and raining by the time we got onto the buses. Our guide was named Emad, but he told us to call him "Habibi" which means "my precious." Haha. He traveled all through Egypt with us. Anyway, he told us that it's only rainy once or twice a year in Egypt. And we were lucky enough to be there on that one day. So we headed out for the pyramids of Giza with the wind and rain howling outside.
When we got to the pyramids, the rain had stopped thankfully, but it was really windy. But holy cow. I could not believe how incredible these pyramids were. They're huge! We got to go inside the second biggest pyramid called Chephren. It was so cool!! The Egyptians were so smart. You wouldn't believe how complex these pyramids are and how much structure and planning must have gone into them. It was funny though to see just how much influence movies and Hollywood has on my thinking. The inside of the pyramid was nothing like what one would imagine after watching "The Mummy" or something. No cavernous rooms with huge elegant stairways. There was simply a shaft, so small you couldn't stand up straight, that you walked down. It was hot like a sauna inside and finally the shaft ended in a small, rectangular room that wasn't that big. But it was still so cool! I went inside a friggin' PYRAMID!!! We got lots of pictures. Oh, I get to go feed babies at a hospital right now, but this story will continue. I will finish Egypt if it's the last thing to do! Love ya'll...
