Default Have you ever been to the Pyramids in Egypt?


Have you ever been to the Pyramids in Egypt?

I've always thought it would be neat to go and see the pyramids and the sphinx and king tut's tomb. But it looked even more amazing after I had seen it featured in an episode of the Amazing Race!

I've always wanted to go but you're not kidding, the Amazing Race made them look even more spectacular than I had ever seen before. I'd want to do that show just to get access to some of the world's most amazing places that those contestants get.

I voted "Yes, I loved it!" because that fits better than "Yes, but I would not go back there." The truth lies somewhere between. I have been to the Pyramids of Giza twice, and were I to go to Egypt again, I would go to the Pyramids again. But that will not be the primary incentive if I do go to Egypt again.

This is another thing I would love to do one day. I sure am glad I am still young and hope to get the chance to do some of this before I die.

I heard that there is one pyramid where if you sleep in it, you will end up astral projecting (if you believe in such). I'd love to try that out!

I have been to the pyramids. They are spectacular and well worth a visit. I went inside one. That was an experience. It was very claustrophobic. I don't think I would go inside again.

The Pryamids were probably the most awesome sight I have ever seen other than the view from on top of the Alps. The sheer size of them defies description! We had a friend with us that went inside. He is a rather large man and had to bend over double to go thru. They had to pull him out because he cut off his own breath tryin' to get thru. Since I am claustrophobic and they warn you about this before going in, I was content to wait outside and stare in wonder. Kay and I also rode camels over on the other side of the pyramids, had our picture taken with the pyramids as a backdrop and it now sits in a frame labeled "Been there, done that!"

I came across this picture and thought I would offer Exhib 1 in evidence:
