What a terrific itinerary this has been & what a great group of folks we’re enjoying. I’m so glad Ken has been able to get some photos downloaded into the Internet. This is my 4th try just to get a message posted. We’ve loved dressing up – Marcie, thanks for sending us Tom’s ensemble for Don to wear. He is having so much fun wearing it – especially yesterday as the Bookie. He’s becoming a fan of Arabic men's clothing. (I certainly can't say that when wearing the women's Abaya's & head gear! Mercy!) An Arabian Night will be the next opportunity to let it rip & dress up.
Speaking of women’s attire, we had lessons today on “how to properly wear the Abaya’s scarf while in Saudi Arabia”. We were warned, also, to keep all blonde hair out of sight. We’ll see how successful we are; hopefully, none of us will be confronted by the Religious Police over a single strand showing. We, also, had a lengthy discussion pre-lunch today over “what to wear underneath the Abaya without passing out from the heat”. It’s SO HOT, I can’t imagine wearing long pants….oh to be able to wear a swimsuit underneath. …We will have to be very inventive for this adventure...& brave.
