On day 2 we went to the pyramids at Giza. This was awesome. The first pyramid that we saw was the largest pyramid. After taking pictures here, we went to the solar boat museum right behind the pyramid. The solar boat was used in the afterlife to take the pharaoh from one side of the Nile to the other. It was found buried in many small pieces. After leaving the museum we went to the second largest of the pyramids. This one was cool because it still has some of the limestone coat at the top. We were able to actually climb inside this one as well. When we came out, there were a couple of really cute kids selling souvenirs. After the pyramids came the camel rides. This was by far the highlight of the day! After the camels, we went to see the sphinx.
After lunch we went to see how papyrus was made. I bought one with the ankh in the middle and two names on the sides in hieroglyphics. Later in the evening we went to a shisha cafe. It was very similar to the hookah bars in Nashville. It was a fun group outing.
