Dream Trip 2009

Great Travel Moment

While we were in Saudi Arabia, visiting some local people, I was pulled into the dance being performed by Saudi men. Here I am, wearing the mandatory abaya, along with my red fanny pack, and holding a saber while dancing. This memory of my visit to Saudi Arabia will stand out in all of my travels. My son was surprised that American tourists were even permitted in Saudi Arabia, and he was really surprised to see a photo of his mother (wearing her ugly sun hat and red fanny pack) prancing around as if she were on some American TV show!
