Trying to sketch what he'd of been complete. Sadly a group of eight year olds kept jumping in front to sell me a photograph. Stunning as Egypt is it's also not a bad example of what happens when you combine a corrupt government with a disregard for those most in need

Thanks for checking out my vegas trip. More debauchery to come!
