Picture off the Week #498 "Big Talker" Giza, Egypt 1989 Signed & Stamped

On my 1989 trip around the world, I had to stop off in Egypt to see the pyramids. I quickly understood that I had to have a guide to show me around. I hired this young man to take me out to the three pyramids with his camel. We got on and rode out to the monuments that I had always longed to see. When we got closer he turns around to me and says: "You kiss me now? I told him that I was not doing that. He didn't press the issue. Later he took me even further out to some guy sitting on a blanket in the middle of nowhere. My illustrious guide says you buy me drink? I said sure and this guy pulls back a blanket and underneath are a bunch of sodas. Not exactly cold, but not bad being we are in the Sahara. We gulped them down and continued on my guided tour. When we stopped for me to take pictures I caught this image. I don't remember now what he was saying or why. I just know that ride was something that I will always cherish.
