Cairo (and Giza), Egypt

Cairo...what to say. 18 million people. The horn is the most important device in an automobile, even more so than the brakes. This city is insane. People everywhere, trying to sell you things (mostly papyrus), noise pollution, and of course a haze above the city that puts even London to shame. It was quite the culture shock (considering I've only really been to Western European countries of yet), but an experience I'll never forget. The Pyramids of Giza were absolutely spectacular. Jordan and I even got to climb up on the largest pyramid off to the one side. The Sphinx, although smaller than expected, was still an architectural wonder so to speak. Amazing what people were capable of doing so long ago. Egypt is full of history, and it was a pleasure to come and check this country out.
