Pyramids of Giza

We finally made it to the Pyramids.  It was awesome.  We took a taxi there and from the highway I saw them.  At first I didn't think it was really the pyramids that I was seeing because I didn't think they were so close to the highway but it was.  You could see them in the background.  In front there are buildings.  You would think that they are far in the desert but they are right there, close to the highway and buildings.  

We took a horse carriage ride around the pyramids.  It was about 2 hours long. We got off a couple of times and walk around a bit.  At one point we climbed the pyramids.  When you go there the police don't allow you to climb.  It seems someone fell off a while ago, but if you go around the side no one is there and you can climb all you want and we did. We didn't get very high but we did climb.  You could go in the pyramid but we decided we would go in next time.
