My Trip Around the World: Aswan, Egypt


I'm in Aswan, Egypt!!!! I'm so excited to start exploring the temples and pyramids!!!! I went to my hotel threw my stuff in my room and went straight to get a cab to the pyramids. the pyramids here are so interesting, I like to see how they were built and compare all the different kinds of pyramids. I spent the whole day looking and learning about all the different pyramids. I was so exhausted by the end of the day that I was out like a log once my head hit the pillow in my hotel room.
