Pyramids of Giza, Egypt

---

Hi Everybody!
I am just going to do pictures for Egypt. I am glad that we came and had an opportunity to view the Pyramids, the Sphinx, and the Cairo Archaeological Museum. I would not necessarily encourage others to visit here. I would put Machi Pichu and Anghor Wat ahead of the Pyramids. I enjoyed Peru and Cambodia more than Egypt. The majority of the people in Egypt are Muslim. The women are not required to wear the head covering but choose to do so. Egypt is a very dirty country. Occasionally, we would see a pretty landscape attractive area - such as the port at Alexandria and the hotel in Cairo where we had lunch. The country's cities are overcrowded and terribly polluted. Many buildings are black in color from the soot.
One interesting tidbit - We saw pigeons, rabbits, and roosters in large cages in Alexandria. We wondered if they were for sale for pets. On our trip to Cairo, we saw many towers shaped like upside down bullets with holes in the sides. We found out that these were for pigeons. A special delicacy for the Egyptian people is pigeon stuffed with butter rice and herbs.
Take care,
Everette

Rethinking Egypt
We appreciate your comments about Egypt. We are thinking of going, but also I would like to visit Machu. Prehaps this will make Byron consider Peru! Thanks. Nancy
