Pyramids n Camels

Of course, one of the most coveted spots for any foreigner visiting Egypt is "the pyramids". I doubt the camels and horses get very excited about our visits though. My first time (with my father as my readers may recall) I fretted and mumbled about the poor horse pulling our carriage the entire trip. Somehow, this time I felt less sorry for camels. They looked less stressed.

Here, notice our expert riders: such form! such confidence!

My mother threatened my life several times for even suggesting this adventure in the first place. But later, both auntie and ma admitted it was a piece of cake once you got used to it.




It was neat checking out the camels, up close and personal. Their big, blinking eyes are so beautiful. And their awkwardly moving, crookidy legs and padded feet. cool cool.

My mother was a bit less impressed (afraid, really) since Debby's camel kept tail-gating her camel, curiously sticking its face right up against my mom's thigh, looking up and blinking.
















and what a dismount! beautifully done!
