After a short night's sleep, the plan was to rise early and head out to Giza to see the pyramids. We hired a van, which ended up being delayed by a very unfortunate hour. During that delay, I received a phone call which required me to stay at the hotel and await further instructions regarding the retrieval of our confiscated radios. The rest of the team continued with their trip, but since the baggage was all registered under my name, I got stuck with the responsibility of staying behind to help sort it all out.
So, instead of pictures of the Sphinx and the Great Pyramids, I present to you the view of Cairo from my hotel:
I especially like the large satellite dishes perched atop the crumbling brick.
P.S. I seem to be having trouble publishing to Konradprojects blog, so I'll post all of my Egypt updates at WHS until I return. You can refer to Konradprojects for the preliminary posts on my trip.
UPDATE: I fixed my publishing problems, so from now on all Egypt related posts will be cross-posted on Konradprojects blog.

Very cool...I look forward to more updates.
I will still get to see the Pyramids on my last day in Egypt when I return to Cairo.
Egyptians love Obama and they tell us the "America is good now."
I just arrived at the desert worksite in Abydos and will post an update shortly after taking pictures tomorrow. There is a very small black & white baby kitten here named Obama.
I fixed my publishing problems so future posts will be here and on Konradprojects.
hey Mike, make sure you post a picture of "Obama" - glad you'll get to see the Pyramids on your last day. Looking forward to the updates.
