Pyramids etc

Pyramids were awesome. These things date from 2600 BC - the ROMANS used to go there to marvel at the achievements of long dead civilizations!!!

Also saw the Citadel (see pic of Mosque of Mohammed Ali, founder of modern Egypt and an Albanian!) and some of the Mosques in Islamic Cairo, and some of the churchs in Coptic Cairo. Cairo is Mosquerama - in any direction you look its only a couple of blocks to the next one.

Trying to sort out travel for the rest of Egypt got stymied because its Friday so a lot of places are not open.

Had dinner with Tarek and his wife - they took us to a wonderful Egyptian restaurant. It was good to see him since its been almost 6 years since we graduated from the GSB
