Loving the lanterns at the Khan Al Kalili Souk.  I bought 3 of these beautiful lanterns and one antique lantern to hang in the house with a light bulb wired into it...

The other side of Cairo.  We went to the Citadel and Mohammed Ali Mosque.  The view is amazing from there.  If you look through the smog you can see the pyramids in the distance.

Ticket booths were something there was no shortage of.  Brad's first, second and often third stop after getting out of the van was to all the ticket booths to buy entrance to each tomb, pyramid and site at that destination.

Entering the mosque at the Citadel.

After their initial interest in the pyramids, the kids invented games to play and could have spent the entire day there playing and running around these great wonders of the world.

She finally arrived in the city that inspired her name.  Whenever someone asked her name they would get confused and then ask again.."No, YOUR NAME."  It was great to experience the city that changed my outlook on the world, with the girl who has changed my world...along with other loved ones who make my world worthwhile.

Amazed at the size...The pyramids just kept getting bigger and bigger the closer we got...I love this shot of the kids admiring the structure with their limited ability to appreciate the age and engineering that are represented in it.

Back at the hotel the kids had a great time with Drew.  Drawing and playing gameboys.  

Watching B with the egyptian people was such a thrill.  He really does relate to them as their brother.  Everywhere we went he and they extended hands and showed mutual respect and admiration for each other.  He is soooo cooool, isn't he?!

Sharing my favorite spots with my family was a dream come true.  I love the Khan Al Kalili Souk in Cairo.  Other than additional merchants selling some tacky tourist goods, most of this old souk hasn't changed for centuries.
