Here are some photos from the same reception where I rode the camel. All the women teachers on our trip got a henna, which is traditional temporary tattoo. This guy is playing a guitar-like instrument called an oud (pronounced "ood.") They actually rolled out the red carpet for us!

Hi Mr. Joseph -
Very interesting... how long do the tattoos stay on? How come only the girls got one? The food sounds delicious! I love Arabic food! See you on Monday.

That oud looks like a banjo! Whyed you get to go on the red carpet? Were people watching you when you when on it? Those are some really good picture taking Mr.Joe. Keep having fun!

Mr. Joseph,
The women in your group were given henna tattoos; does this practice signify anything? Also, I noticed that one lady has nail polish on her nails. I am wondering if the Saudi people have an opinion on the Western use of things like nail polish, make-up, etc. Finally, how have the women in your group been treated? Have they discussed any differences they perceive in their treatment, even as guests in the country?

Dear Mr. joseph,
That red carpet looked fuzzy. Why did they have that red carpet? Is it cold at night? I hope you are having a marvelous time.
Mr.Joe, did you play them a song on your gutiar?
