Pyramids, pyramids, pyramids, and more pyramids! Again, go to Nancy’s blog for more details. We visited three separate sites: Dashur, Saqqara, and Giza. Each site has different types of pyramids, built in different styles and centuries, but all fascinating.
Dashur - Red Pyramid, steps to entrance

Whew! What a day! It was so good to get back to the apartment and relax. Reid made the day even better by making his famous homemade macaroni and cheese for dinner. Some of the best times we’ve had here have been just sitting down to eat together or playing games in the evenings. More than being tourists, it’s just fun to be with Andrew, Nancy, Rachel, and Miriam and being part of their lives.

Jacob on a camel. I can see that picture hanging on his wall for years to come
