Cairo Pics






Pictures: Me in the museum courtyard, Khan market, camel shadows, Pyramids of Giza and Sphinx, camel ride.

Cairo, Egypt






I went on a 24hr tour of Cairo,Egypt. It was amazing to see the Pyramids! I have dreamed for most of my life about going to Cairo and seeing the Pyramids. I also had fun riding a camel and visiting the Egyptian Museum. The museum has so many artifacts and I got to see the Tutankhamen exhibit. All the things I've seen in books over the last years I finally got to see up close. Just Amazing! I also went to a huge market-the Khan market..where knowing Arabic is must so you can get the best bargain!

more forest pics




forests of khartoum











went running in the khartoum forest today. a few months ago this area was completely covered due to flooding of the nile. the forest runs along the white nile and if you are lucky you can see monkies ! i didn't see any but some of the faster runners did.
it was so peaceful and beautiful in the woods. a nice change from the red Cinnamon earthy dust that is usually the color of khartoum.
