5) Inside a Pharoahs actual grave...i.e. where the casket used to be. So not allowed to do that but the guard suggested it with a little something in return!

Rabs,
I don't think I've ever worked so hard to see someone's photos. I had to go to link, highlight it, copy it, paste it, view. It was pretty time-consuming, but worth it. It's nice to see you're having a great time, and hanging around with lots of local Egyptians ;)
Love,
mh
May,
You meano! At first I was thinking that I really didn't have many pics with a lot of people in it and then I remembered that the main ones were from my birthday, which doesn't have many egyptians in it. You evil person...you were being sarcastic.... Wait till you check out all my kewl "local" friends!! hee hee!
I'm glad you worked hard to see the pics. WRITE ME AN E-MAIL!!
