Just returned from trip to EGYPT !!!!

“Egypt is long distance away – and – a long way back in time. “ = The pyramids are HUGE- one block is shoulder-tall !! Inside is dramatic – there is some fear of collapse – as you come, you see camels roaming about – they will spit on you, snort and “make noises from other orifices as well “= ;. There is heavy tourist traffic around the pyramids- less around the Sphinx.= The sphinx is much smaller than expected. The tourist scene is a real multinational mix and fun to watch. <= /p>
Overall the, the flights and travel were easy and fu= n. TRAVELING BACK 4000 YEARS INTO HISTORY IS A LITTLE SCARY.

Dr. Barr recommends it to everyone.

Raffle - The BIG winner was TERRY BOSE who PICKED THE JOKE= R OUT OF 14 CARDS and took home $315.00 !!!!!!!!=
