Last night we went to the pyramid sound and light show. Nice evening, no wind and it is always nice to see the pyramids at night with sky behind. Four of us went to the bar to have hamburgers. I do not eat hamburgers much but remembered they were really good from our last trips. The burgers were good but the loud live singer was irritating so hard to talk with that blasting away.

We just finished our first day. We visited the pyramids, the chamber where they prepare the mummies and the Sphinx. So few people. Fantastic for us but sad for Egypt. We were almost by ourselves at the Sphinx just a few school children on a higher area. I remember the first trip how crowded it was hard to take pictures.

We went to a shop where a few purchases were made and then to lunch at the Mena hotel. Wonderful view of the pyramids and a delicious lunch. I had mushroom soup and (For the third time)?seabass.

In the afternoon we went to Memphis the first Capitol city of Egypt and saw the statue of Ramses. It always intrigues me it is so large and beautifully carved. Finishing up with the first Egyptian pyramid, Sakara.

Every trip we have taken back to about ten years ago we have always had a government police escort. Today we had the best ever. Looked like he stepped out of a movie set as the star CIA Agent. Handsome, a big black man with a strong presence. He was wonderful as well helping Jill down a slope area. His name was Mohammed.

It was a good day Henry was in fine form. He gave his children the NILE 3 pins. Henry told us his three year old son put three on his shirt. One on each shoulder and one in the middle and said ," look daddy, the father, the son, and the Holy Spirit "

It was nice to get back to the Four Seasons and relax. Tonight we are all going to the Italian restaurant for dinner.

Ken is working on pictures. Hopefully get some posted soon.
