EGYPT, EGYPT, EGYPT!!!!!!
Well, we can both say that we have actually done something that we have always wanted to do, and we were lucky enough to be able to do it in style, thanks Stevo...
We have been travelling throughout Europe and thought that we knew what was up...joke is on us.
We entered a FORIEGN country for the first time. We found out quickly about "Egyption Hospitality" and bought our heart's worth! Cairo is unlike anything that we have encountered, and this is the first time that we have been exposed to pure poverty. People doing what they can do to survive, children working.CHILREN WORKING, of course our tour guide says with pride" young children, 3 or 4, can make carpets because their hands are so small, that's why your carpets are soooo beautiful!" It is hard to be here.
Egypt is difficult.
We had such amazing time and there is so many memories that we can share with you, but we are limited to only a few...
Egyption Hospitality
BAKSHEESH
Papayrus
Ali and his family(traditional Ramadan dinner while observing the sunset over the Giza Pyrmaids)
Chapped asses( Not Sam, her ass was just fine...)
Riding camels
We saw Memhphis, SAKARA, and Dashur pyrmaids.
The poverty was unquestionable. Garbage everywhere, but the smiling faces of the people made us happy to be alive and thankful for all that we have.
The Bazaaar was my favorite place! We were the only tourists and we had an amazing time. Brad and Steve were offered 6 camels for me... thank GOD they said no..

Thanks Stevo...I can't wait until we get to Vegas! BAKSHEESH! PRICELESS!
Just because Brad bad made a move does not make him a bad person!
PRICELESS!
We went on a Nile Dinner Cruise, awesome...
Shisha, Shisa, Shisa..smoke some and enjoy...
Love from the coolest place to watch the sunset over a pyrmaid-Sam and Brad

It is amazing how time passes so quickly...now in Africa!!
Take a deep breath...take in all the smells...relax..soak it all in.
If you are lucky enough every now and then you will get a scent that brings you back to one of your yesterdays......and with that one scent you will be jolted back into one of your yesterdays but it will today or maybe tomorrow.
Love Mommy!!
Hi Sam & Brad!!! Great pictures taken in Egypt. I love the one with Sam by the camels:) So you two are in South Africa now??? If I remember...you are on a safari? Oh, I'm sure it will be a whole new adventure in South Africa. I can't wait to see your pictures and hear your stories. Enjoy everything their culture has to offer. I hope you have enough money to buy some African art work. I'm sure they make some really beautiful things. Take care and be safe. Lindsay
