Sunday Sight Seeing





Well actually that would be Friday. We went out and about last Friday to visit the beach and see a little of the city. Women swim in their abeyahs. Children up to about 10 or so all wear bathing suits and of course men do but women...no. There is an international beach where I could wear a swimsuit but I have had no time to go. The architecture is stunning and the area is truly pretty.

The pictures above are taken in the center of the city so you are seeing the harbor, one of the new hotels and a mosque that is right on the ocean. The hotel is very upscale, think flat screen TV in the bathroom. By the way, the traffic was moving at about 60 so those cars aren't parked and they do drive that close to each other.

Taking pictures is tricky as they prefer you do not take pictures of buildings and people...I kow, what else is left? At any rate, you have to be very careful when shooting photos.
