I was absolutely amazed at the talent, preparedness, and motivation of the young women I met at a school today in Saudi Arabia. They were all studying in anticipation of spending their college years abroad. Here are some photos and video from my visit.

Hi Mr. Joe
It looks like you are having a great time on your trip! I miss you at school. By the way, Why does the one girl have a mask on it the picture with you? Talk to you soon. Hannah LePage
Mr. Joe
Your trip looks fun. Is the school all girls?
Are all the teachers women too?

hey mr. j, It looks like fun in saudi arabia, hope those girls get a good education.
Wow you could see none of the girls hair. Are all the girls like that in Suadi Arabia. Does it look odd with all the girls having those things wrapped around their heads.I hope your having a great time.
Visiting the schools most have been a blast! I would love to have been there! It's cool how they dress so much differently then us. I can't wait to see what you have in store for us next.
Wow, your ignorance and naivete is breathtaking. You're on a Saudi-paid propaganda trip, and you are promoting the opportunities and treatment of women in this country, which you know very well treats women like dirt and chattel. How many of these girls will be able to drive? Answer: ZERO. How many of these girls will get to pick her own husband? ZERO, again. How many will be able to get a divorce? NONE (unless her husband permits it). Etc., etc., etc. You are really a tool by doing this, and you should be ashamed. Sad that you are too naive to realize it. Also, love how you have to agree that you will "not leave the group to explore on your own" as the Freep article states. Sounds like Saddam Hussein's propaganda tour when he headed Iraq.

I conclude that where you went is an all girls school. Is this common, are there all boys schools too? Do boys even go to school in Saudi Arabia? I hope you are having a good time and I hope you don't miss your family to badly. Have fun!
do any of the girls take their things on their head off? are you having fun? hope you have a safe and fun trip!

Hi!
That is so cool. I'm a girl, so it's even cooler for me to see girls from a different country doing stuff like taht.
What was the school like?
Hey Mr. J,
Wow The beachs in Saudi Arabia look wonderful. The bachs in Syria are just as wonderful!
We all miss you.
I also heard the message you left me yesterday, thanks for letting me know!
Have fun!

Dear Mr. Jo
Were there more girls or boys? How long was the school day? Was there any armyed men to pretect the school?
I hope you have a good trip.
Mr.Joe
Why in one of the pictures the one girl have a mask completely covering her face except her eyes?Do the women all do that? Is your class large?I hope your class is learning a lot about the subject you are teaching!!

Hi Mr.Joe
I hope you are enjoying your trip. Do you know why the girls cover their heads with scarfs?
Hi! I think that it is amazing that those young women can speak English. Is there a special language (other than Arabic) there, too? Is everyone at the school female? I think it would be cool to go to an all girls' school.
Good luck!

I can not even imagine being in school all day wearing cloth over my entire body. Is every woman dressed like that? It must be hot.

Hi Mr.Joe
Seems like your having a awsome time!I cant belive that all those girls are getting education.It's great that girls are getting there rights.Keep on having fun and discovering fun things.
its neet about the school with all girls and keep on bloggen!
Mr. Joseph
I was wondering if the girls there got to choose what they wanted for a career. I know the rules there are very strict for girls so I was wondering if they tweaked them a little
