Pyramids

So I finally visited the pyramids. They were big. It was cool. I liked how the entrance to go into the Pyramids is a hole carved straight into the rock. When you get inside, it’s clear that people were not meant to be down there because you can hardly breathe, and I don’t know why, but it’s incredibly humble. Everyone comes out sweating. There is not much set up to explain what is going on. I was kind of expecting some sort of sign to tell me how many bricks there are and how old people think it is, but there is nothing except the waves of salesman trying to force you to take a camel ride so you can pay them those sweet tourist prices. It’s worth seeing, the site itself is good, but there should be more presentation. I think the Egyptians are probably worried about other things than the preservation of the pyramids, like their own rough economic situation.

Classes are going, Ramadan is going, the monuments are going. I don’t have much time to explore. I think I may be studying a little too much. Next semester, I definitely need to take more of a break.
