Geometry Lesson

Even Mike, who has bemoaned visiting the pyramids because of the KFC across the street, admitted it was more impressive than he expected. Yes the KFC and pizza hut are really there but it does not detract from the wonder of the pyramids or the nearby Sphynx. The Sphynx was equally as cool to see, although it was smaller than ...
