Hey,
School today - I got a lot done but not enough. The neighbors came back last night and this morning they brought us all kinds of presents from Bahrain! It hailed this morning and rained a ton... Rainy season...This afternoon mom, dad, Will, and I went to the gym and "did legs". My parents went on their weekly shopping trip tonight and my mom was told to cover her hair by the Mutawah who are the Saudi Religious police. The other day we actually saw a scarecrow dressed in an thobe with a red and white checkered gutra. That is how intense Saudis are! I guess a bird here wouldn't be scared by a scarecrow dressed in overalls and a straw hat.

ReplyDeleteI have to say that the scarecrow in a thobe and gutra make me laugh every time I remember seeing them...we are so shaped by our own world view... to think that a Arabian bird would not know what to make of a scarecrow dressed in overalls and a straw hat...the whole thing makes me chuckle!!!! Good post, Keenan!
