A day at the Pyramids

I can’t even remember when was the last time I’ve been to the Pyramids. But they never fail to make me go “W-O-W…how the $%#& did they do it?!”

The Ancient Egyptian equivalent to the Trevy Fountain in Rome, except people don’t throw paper bills in the Trevy Fountain. This was inside one of those ruins that are supposed to have been the Pyramids’ architects’ hangout, where they used to kick back and have a few cold ones between intense construction shifts.

Hell’s Angels on the Giza Plateau! This guy was doing burnouts in the bus parking lot. Look at the tires on that thing!

Biker to Bus driver: “Hah! What’s with the WEENY tires on your ride man?”

That would be the Sun Boat museum. Our self-appointed guide took the picture and of course he knew all the right angles.

It becomes you. You should have a hat made that looks like that. I bet in Cairo you could get it for 10 Egyptian pounds. I could get it for less!
