What a trip

Where to begin?

Gosh that is difficult, but bare with me!

I ONLY took 972 pictures…

I suppose recounting the trip is almost as exciting as having been there.

First stop Cairo, Egypt, Pyramids Park Intercontinental hotel Cairo. The Hotel

We were all so very tired from the flight.

Sleep was not difficult and the body so enjoyed being able to stretch out full

length…

We left from Myrtle Beach, S.C. at 7:15 a.m. arrived in Cairo at 9:10 the next day

Egypt Time!

Next post Mondy Bazaar and Giza and the horrendous traffic…

Mondy Bazaar was the first bazaar opened in the pyramid area, it has been open

since 1982 but the history of this bazaar doesn't start at that time. The history of

this bazaar started in the twenties when the grandfather of Mr. Mondy opened his

first bazaar in the center of Cairo and started to contact with tourists and learned

how to give the best quality and the best work. Then came Mr. Mondy's father who

opened his own shop near the Islamic monuments, which was the most popular

place for tourists at that time and he took his father's experience and developed

his own goods and shop. Then came Mr. Mondy who learned from his grandfather

and his father the secrets of how to make the customer comfortable and how to

make the best work and quality. After quite some time he saw that there were no

bazaars near the pyramid area, so he started to open the biggest bazaar in this

area and called it by his name so no one forgets it "Mondy Bazaar". And he started

to use the 60 years of experience from his father and grandfather, till he became

the most famous salesman in Egypt, and his shop went to be the first shop to make

a good Cartouche.
