One of the greatest things about Egypt is there is always something you haven't seen yet. This comes in really handy when friends or relatives visit, because it means you aren’t forced to visit the same places for a second or third time. Recently my mother came all the way from Oregon to visit and it gave me a last chance to see a few things for the last time and a few things for the first time. The first time I visited the Pyramids at Giza I left feeling a bit disappointed. Things felt rushed and overly commercialized, there was a lot of hassling and it just didn’t live up to my expectations. When I found out my mother was coming to visit one of the first thoughts was "oh man.. I have to visit Giza again!". Fortunately my second trip was much more memorable than the first. It is nice to take your time and enjoy everything around you.
