We had a pretty busy day.

First we went to the Roman Ampitheatre and spent a lot of time walking the grounds and taking stilly pictures.

"I wanna be a rock star!"

Next we went to the Catacombs of Kom ash-Shuqqafa which was waaay cool. Of course there was the no pictures rule. All the cool places don't allow pictures. However, nothing is posted against cell phones. The three level tomb complex even housed the bodies of kings and other great leaders.

We then went to Pompey's Pillar. It's 89 feet tall, and was erected in around 297 AD out of red granite from Aswan. This is also the site of the Apis Bull burial.

After our day of sightseeing we headed home for a bit, then we went for a walk and got some pizza.
