I Made It to the Pyramids!

Being our first free weekend from starting classes on Wednesday, what else can you but go to the pyramids?? This was definitely something I was looking forward from the get go (hence the url of my blog). It was definitely cool to see these colossal structures and to walk around them. Though you are harassed by locals trying to sell you little trinkets, it is easy just to be assertive and say “la’” (no) or just say “no”. I managed to go with a fun group and we got a lot of great pictures of the Greater pyramid and the second one. We even went inside the second one for a cheap student discount. Though I sadly must say it was nothing spectacular, at least I can say I’ve been in one, right?


One of the most fun things to do there is definitely riding a camel. I payed a little less than one dollar to take a picture sitting on a camel, then about three dollars to ride behind the second period. The site of the desert with the pyramids was beautiful. Sadly I only have pictures from my camera and ran out of picture memory so I got none riding it, but I still have a picture sitting on one! So cool! Though it felt really really touristy (there were tons there), it was still a great thing to do on the weekend.
