Yesterday, we took the morning off from our meetings and went to visit the pyramids. After all, what would a trip to Egypt be without it. It also give us a chance to get to know each other better and build some new relationships.

It was absolutely overwhelming. I still can’t believe that I was there. It is something that I’ve seen pictures of so many times and now I was standing there. My first impression was the surprise that it is so close to the city. I would guess that the Great Pyramid is only a quarter mile from a major street with tons of buildings and other things. The city basically runs right up to the edge of it all.

As I saw the size of them, and our tour guide explained the amazing feat of building them, it is hard to believe that they are 5000 years old. There are 2.3 million blocks in the Great Pyramid and they each weigh about 10 tons. It makes the theory about the aliens helping to build them much more plausible.

We then had lunch at Pizza Hut which was right out the window from the Sphinx. This is a classic picture of the modern meeting the ancient. We had so much fun taking pictures from inside the Pizza Hut. I think you could make this a tourist attraction in and of itself.[image:338:r]
Today (Wednesday), we meet all day and I have a couple of presentations. It is the final day of our meetings. We have already had some cool breakthroughs as a group and I’m excited about some of the things we will be able to implement as a result.
