3 continents down, 4 to go

This past weekend I went to Egypt.
Holy crap that sounds so obnoxious, but in my defense I had Tuesday off and it's only three hours away from my current location.
...
Nope. Still obnoxious.
But I'm so glad I did it.
Hands down one of the coolest things I'll ever do.
Highlights of the trip include the Great Pyramid and King Tut's tomb/treasures.
Fun fact: They had hinges back in the day. Yurp. We're not that cool.



I'm on a boat. On the Nile River.

Yurp.

This looks photoshopped. I love it.

Wonder of the ancient world. Awe inspiring.

The standard camel ride. It was quite pleasant.

The Sphinx

Mosque of Muhammad Ali

Egyptian Museum. Sadly I couldn't take photos inside, but wowsers. Amazing.

Yeah they have KFC. And it delivers. I had to capture it, cuz I wouldn't even believe me.

  1. These pictures of Egypt are so beautiful and amazing. I sat here and studied each and every photo, even the KFC photo. Of course I will never have the pleasure of such travel, so I am highly amazed.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Question: what happened to the nose - Sphinx?

  2. I'm so glad you enjoyed it :)

    And the Sphinx's nose fell victim to a mix of weather, time, and religious fanatics who set out to destroy traces of opposing beliefs.
