In August of last year, the Smith family took an

exciting vacation to Egypt to see the pyramids. They
spent an incredible two weeks there. One of the
high points of their vacation was a visit to the
Sphinx. Their tour guide was especially helpful. He
told them a lot of interesting stories. They stayed in
a wonderful, four-star hotel in Cairo. The hotel had a
great restaurant, and the waiters were all very
friendly. It was the perfect vacation.
Two months ago, Brian Winters traveled to Cairo,
Egypt on a short business trip. He stayed at a
wonderful hotel—one with a great manager and
friendly staff. One day, he had a little extra time, so
he took a taxi to the pyramids. The taxi driver was
kind of unfriendly, but the visit to the pyramids was
amazing. Brian was in Egypt for only four days, so
he did not have time to see much more. He hopes
to see the Sphinx on his next trip.
