The Louvre Wants to be in Egypt

I think that's capitalized correctly.

I had to wait several minutes to take this shot, as the perfect pedestal for resting cameras (in lieu of a tripod) was in use by an Asian family who wanted portraits in front of the pyramid. I had no problem with waiting patiently, but by the end they were giving me inquisitive looks, as I had just been hanging out there with seemingly little reason. When they gathered their equipment to leave, I tried to be as conspicuous as possible while setting down my camera with the same goal. The (I assume) mother grinned, nodded, and said "ah!", which is the same in every language.

By the time I was done, there was another Asian girl behind me waiting to use the same pedestal.
