Cairo


Cemetary that I fell in love with, known as "City of the Dead." It was designed like this so family members could picnic and even sleep among the cemetary.

And I thought Tbilisi was chaotic.... The honking, screaming, and constant hassling of people trying to sell you things made Cairo stressful and fun (in short bursts). Good thing I got so much practice jaywalking across major highways in Georgia! Also, I think its a cultural thing to give someone completely wrong directions rather than admit you don't know where something is, which also made our lives fun. Other than that I thought it was a great city! :)I don't have any pictures of the Egyptian museum because cameras weren't allowed, but the most bizarre thing in there was an entire room dedicated to mummified animals. There were dogs (fur intact!), gazelles, fish, an alligator, and a baby alligator! Also, they had the entire set of treasures uncovered from Tutankhamun's tomb which was the only tomb that wasn't robbed. And tons of other jewlery, sphinxes, shrines, statues, and mummies.
More to come when I have more time on the internet...
