I can almost picture my reaction, it might be my reaction to seeing the Mona Lisa in the Louvre x 1000. The Sphinx and the Pyramids. Everyone knows about the Sphinx and the Pyramids. Go to any museum in the world, there's BOUND to be an Egyptian exhibit of some sort; mummies, sarcophagi (is that the plural of sarcophagus?), hieroglyphs.

I've seen two other pyramids before now; in Mexico in Chichen Itza, the Temple of Kukulkan, and the - Pyramid du Louvre. It's quite a surreal feeling to know that I will be seeing the most famous pyramids on earth, the pyramids of Giza, the oldest of the seven wonders of the ancient world - Wiki, along with the Sphinx, wiki.



I am so blessed.

Growing up, my parents always said, study first, save money, so you can have fun and do all the things you want in life. Funny enough, I never fully understood what that meant, until now.

Thank you to the greatest parents anyone can ever ask for. We can't choose our parents, but if children did, I would still pick you both. Love you mom and dad. Happy early, 29th Anniversary!

No one else will do it for you. ... full info
