It’s funny but everywhere I go people are thinking that I’m Egyptian.  From my understanding there are 2 different kinds of Egyptians…ones with lighter skin and ones with darker skin.  I went into a local souvenir shop and the shopkeeper said when he first looked at me he thought I was Egyptian.  Apparantly there is a great brotherhood between the lighter and darker skinned ones here.  Another shopkeeper at the Papyrus Museum told me that he considers people with dark skin as good luck.  I dunno if that was just his way to sell me stuff or not, LOL.  Also, they all love Obama here and claim to have a great admiration for America.  I’m quite enjoying my time here and the people are nice and helpful once you seperate the ones that are just trying to sell you whatever they can and the ones that truly mean it.  I was told that it’s not good to get a tour guide for the pyramids, but to just walk up to the government offices by the pyramid and you can book a horse or camel ride to the pyramids from there.  I will go and do that later as my hotel is only a 5 minute walk from the pyramids.
