Overall, Egypt has treated us very well. We were lucky enough to have a friend of a friend pick us up from the airport and drive us to the pyramids/museum (see Sammy pictured to the left). Thanks for helping us set that up Heather! The pyramids and sphinx were more than awesome. We stopped at Saqqara (step pyramid) and the Giza pyramids.We took a stroll home along the Nile after visiting the museum to our fancy hotel. Tonight we will take a dinner cruise on the Nile. Overall we are a fan of Cairo.

Note about food thus far (upon request):
Thailand- Pretty great Thai food. Easy to find places to eat. Very similar to what you'd experience at a Thai restaurant in the states. Picture 15 page menu. Not overly spicy. Lots of Italian also available (who knows why).

India- VERY hard to find places to eat other than your hotel. I think the best Indian food we had was on the plane (business class) and at a restaurant recommended by the hotel. Again, very similar to what you might experience at an Indian place in the states. Big difference = they leave the bones in their meat (Shannon ordered vegetarian). We were forced to eat chips for meals because of our inability to find places to eat (maybe the restaurants are disguised????)

Egypt- We have eaten at the hotel mostly, but will see what this cruise will serve us. Haven't really found "authentic" Egyptian food yet, but haven't really been seeking it out yet.
