Cairo - the short version

For those that aren't interested in reading a whole blog about my trip to the pyramids, here is the Cliff's Notes version:

We hired a cab to drive us 3 hours from Alexandria to Cairo. Once there, we hired a guide and rode a camel and two horses into the sahara desert to see the pyramids. Apart from the amazing sights, we rode right up to a 5000 year old pyramid and climbed up 3 steps on it. A small piece that had broken off was on the ledge and I took it as a souvenir for my dad. it was possibly the most amazing thing I've ever done. And, with Rome, Athens, and Cairo in one week, possibly the most amazing week I will ever have.
