The Great Pyramids

Hello Campers!

Well, today has been amazing! As you may know, we are currently in Cairo, Egypt. We arrived yesterday evening and the first sights of the pyramids through the darkness were amazing! This morning, the first thing we did when we woke up was to run to the balcony. WOW! We've posted some pictures on Facebook, so if you haven't seen them yet, go on over and take a peek.

We ate breakfast in the shadow of the pyramid (our hotel is almost that close) and then we got to go visit the plateau. Seeing the Pyramids up-close was literally breath-taking. The rest was just gravy! M and S did some camel riding. Me and S did a horse carriage ride while M and C did some horse-back riding!

Then we went to see the Sphynx. Holy moly batman! That just topped it off!

We then proceeded to do some shopping, then lunch, then more shopping, then got back to our hotel. Fiouf! Not bad for a first day!

I'll see if I can post something tomorrow about our 2nd day.

'Till then!

;-) LIL

Salut Le Monde!

Salut tout le monde!

Wow! Its been a month since I posted something. Sorry for that. ;-) Unbelievable how time flies! Last week M pointed out that we've been in Russia for 2 months now. I had not even thought about that! Well, how has our life been for the past 2 months? Ahhh, how to describe... Well, I think different is the best way to sum it up! ;-) Ya know, different is just different. Well, holy moly batman, is it ever different! ;-)

Getting our stuff really helped and having the car now is a blessing! We've had peculiar experiences which we can talk more once we're back visiting, but, its all good. Different, but good. ;-)

I'm sorry that I haven't posted as much as I would have liked to, but hey...

We've done our first trip 2 weeks ago! We went to Brussels and to northern France for the weekend. The weather was amazing! M was able to put her mini-shorts and it was just perfect strolling through the "Grand Place" of Brussels.

Last weekend, we went and visited Red Square (which really should be called beautiful place, but, because the word for beautiful and the color red are very similar, this is something that got lost in translation). We went and visited St-Basil's Cathedral. It was amazing! As an added bonus, there was a choir singing inside while we toured. Man, it sent chills through our cores!

This week, we bought 4 pumpkins (well, sort of pumpkins) for about 52$. Never thought we'd pay so much for 4 pumpkins, but hey...we always do pumpkin carving so, you got to do what you have to do!

Well, that's about it for now. I'll try to post something else soon. Really. Honnestly... cross my heart.

Ciao people!
