The Giza Pyramids and the Sphinx.


I wish this site was a little more marvelous and spectacular. Something more of my dreams rather than a grounds for rip-offs and over eager camel men. All due respect to thosee trying to support themself, but grabbing or touching tourist  is unneccessary. Alas, that cannot always be avoided. Meaningless compliments, promises of free camel rides and marriage were not favorite experiences of mine, I was simply trying to photograph World Wonders. Along with the compliments I was told I was of "Egyptian color" and I was not preferable to my blonde, blue-eyed collegue. I understand how the world works and who is socially idolized. I am not that girl. I just wanted to be awed by a giant tomb of a Pharoah and not be reminded that I was still on Earth, in this world with all its imperfections and ugliness.
