I Love Traffic

Imagine having to drive from Glendale to Torrance and getting your timing off such that you end up making the drive during rush hour. Then imagine there is no freeway and you have to take the streets the whole way. That is the route from my grandmother's house to the pyramids.

Then, after sitting in traffic for two hours in the heat with no air conditioning and having inhaled enough diesel emissions to give you lung cancer 10 times over, you get to your destination and it's closed! That was our day yesterday. Note to self - they stop letting people near the pyramids at 4:00.

We salvaged the day and went and hung out at the Mena House Hotel, which is the best hotel in Cairo. It is a 5-star resort right next to the pyramids so you can golf under the watchful eye of the gods. Sipped lemonade and ate ice cream while we waited for traffic to dissipate.

Since we didn't make it to the pyramids, we headed to Khan El Khalili so that Karla could see something in Cairo. We found the guy I always shop with and we are going back Friday to do some serious damage to the credit card. It will be an exercise in self-restraint.

I was hoping to post the picture I got of the sphinx, but it wil take way too long for me to figure it out and my uncle is coming to pick us up soon. Gotta hit the showers.
