The Amazing Trip - part 4

It was great to have you have our friends here!!
Hope to see you guys again soon!

"Sight"-seeing

Driving is always an experience. :)


These are called Tuc Tuc's and are imported from the east. They don't go as fast as a car, but that doesn't mean they can't be driven on the highway. They make us laugh.

We, believe it or not, were asked to play the guitar and to sing at a friends wedding. Weddings here are very loud and interactive. Notice the children walking around and sitting on the stage during the service. The camera men stand right in front of the couple the whole time too, that is except for when they are panning the audience.











We were recently able to vist an oasis here. It was so contrasting to the desert around it. What a difference a little water makes.



There are beautiful sunsets over the sea.


The spring season brings sandstorms into the city from the desert called Khamasin's. This a picture from our dinning room window.

Family Visits

We were really blessed to have some special visits this summer from family. We had lots of fun as you will see, but there was also some "roughing it" as mom would easily agree. My sister really embraced the culture. :-)


Our sister and I were able to do Henna with some of our friends here. It is a real bonding time for girls. The orange die lasted about 1 month. It's not a tattoo! :)



Mom and Dad took an adventurous trip with us out to the desert. It looks beautiful, just dont drink the well water.



Love all yall! ;-)

We thought we would share with you some other sights that we have seen along the way. They are pretty common from what we have seen, but were new for us when we first came. Hope you enjoy a glimpse of everyday life in other lands!


A balancing act between the old and the new!


A relatively calm, quiet morning at the market...at least, its calm compared to later that day!

"Beef, its what's for dinner."

Guess its laundry Day!


A common sight at an uncommon location. It is not just tourists that come to these beautiful locations, but many local people too!


Finally, every now-and-then, you'll see a street cat that is lucky like this one. It just may be sneeky enough to get a free lunch!

Fun & Fabulous Friends

This past week some good friends came to visit. We had a great time sight seeing together, and we were really encouraged by them. They even brought us goodies that aren't available in our country, i.e. chocolate chips and Dr. Pepper!


We ate at a Chinese restaurant on top of a hotel. It was an awesome view.


Hope to see you guys here soon!!! ;-)
