Giza

This was the highlight of the two weeks. Being on a camel under the hot sun facing the desert was more than overwhelming. It's kind of like the ocean--huge and endless. Being in it is almost frightening. You feel how little you are, and how big the universe is. It would be so easy to get lost. In the middle of nowhere, under the hot sun.
It made me realize why the Arab/Bedouin culture is so different. Who can live like this? Who can live here? What kind of a person does it make you? To see the same everywhere and have it interrupted by the occasional oasis.
In Giza, you just look behind you and see Cairo. But our tour guide said he could take us all the way to Libya. . .
What a nightmare!
