Pyramid Schemes

Hit the Pyramids of Giza yesterday. Kind of a day like in Baalbek, high blue sky, not too many people. We had a good tour guide who took us around where most of the tourists weren't. It's hard to escape the touristy part of all this. Cairo is a city of 17,000,000 Egyptians, about 6 million ex-pats and Allah knows how many undocumented bodies. It grows by one million population every nine months. Third largest city in the world. I say all this because the Pyramids, Sphinx and other nearby sites are in danger of being run over. Of being loved to death. Technically the city is Giza, but you can't tell where Cairo ends and Giza begins. On the other hand past the sites is nothing but desert for as far as the eye can see.

Anyway, obligatory photos:





Something Sphinx in here!
