SantaLies came to town!

My first visitor!!! Lies, my good friend and travel buddy who I met in Senegal, came to visit me over Christmas break! Lies finished her first semester of teaching, I finished my first semester of grad school.....watch out Egypt!


Team shisha!!






The sphinx got some special visitors!!!













We went shopping in the market but when the male vendors got to be a bit too much decided to work on our bell-hops! Pourquoi pas?!












Of course time for cocktails on the beach!


















Just like the good ol' days in Senegal, Mr. Lonely Planet proved once again priceless!

We also figured out that our bargaining skills were still pretty good as not only did we enjoy this deeelicious mango juice, but walked away with the mugs as souvenirs! Never hurts to ask-- w/ a big smile and a wink! :)






We also visited some mosques...


And of course, a trip to Egypt wouldn't be complete without camel rides at the pyramids! (Finally after 4+ months in Egypt, this was my first time to see the pyramids also!)



Doesn't it make you want to visit too??!?!!! :)
