Well, we started our Eid al Fitr break today. The end of Ramadan is rapidly approaching, to be followed by the 3 day feast of Eid al Fitr, the official breaking of the fast of Ramadan. That means that all the Saudis that we work with will be on vacation, and since that's the case, they give us some time off too. 10 days to be exact...

I'm going to stick around here for a few days, and then we're taking a trip to the desert to go camping. There are lots of areas with fossilized critters (snails, shells, and other stuff), petrified wood, and other things from days gone by. I'll take a bunch of pictures, of course, and will post some here for you to see.

In the meantime, here are a few pictures of camels...

Me taking the obligatory camel ride...

The Thirsty Camel

Look deep into my eyes...

Fuzzy!
