Bedouin has trained his camel to kiss him! He makes money off the tourists doing this.

I wanted Mike to get his picture taken with them but.... the camel tried to kiss Mike... hey...that's what she does for a living! The camel was willing but Mike wouldn't do it!

In front of the Giza pyramids.......
Bedouin loaned me his kafiya to keep the sun off

Not exactly Joseph and Mary but you get the idea!

Delicious Bread......
made daily the same way it has been for milleniums...rolled flat like a tortilla and baked in a hot stone oven

Awesome Camel Cops.... or is that Coptic Cops

The real Sphinx

Ribbon cutting ceremony for water treatment facility!
The Governor of Tyeba is doing the cutting...he is a wonderful, kind and gentle man...but just as we left his office for the ceremony...he put a 45 automatic pistol in the back of his belt, under his coat, ...then smiled and said, "just in case we need it."

These guys tolerate NO TROUBLE! On duty with us at the water treatment facility.

The town provided the building....for the water purification plant and LDS charaties (see sign) provided the remodeling and water treatment equipment. The people will now have an inexpensive place to get clean water and the town will make a small profit.
