Quick Stop In Cairo

---

My daughter is fanatically interested in Egypt. She is studying Anthropology at the university and has been pouring over Egyptian history since she was 14 years old. In August we will be traveling with her to Egypt, which will be her first trip there, but as circumstances go, my husband and I visited Cairo shortly in August of 2007.

Touching the Step Pyramid
I love to touch, to feel, to smell, to remember.

Egyptians selling tourist items
It's hard to walk near the pyramids without getting bombarded by men looking for "baksheesh", but at this viewpoint above the pyramids, they were a little less pushy with their wares.
