Here I am in front of the sphinx. I can remember the pictures of a sphinx on the front of the old Mighty Pads at school (am I showing my age?) and never thought I would get to see it. We were lucky to be there in the middle of summer (even though it was in the high 40's!!) because the crowds weren't so bad.

The sphinx was almost covered over the years and has been excavated to reveal all the detail. What a great sight!
