A few funny things from the trip......

Between the fish and veggie markets, we stopped at a little herb store. We found a couple of interesting items!

A closer look so you can read it.......so....what do you think this is for?? Oh, and darn those "manufactural" cycles, aren't they a pain?? (click to enlarge)
I've been meaning to post a picture of one of these. This is what a typical Saudi restroom stall looks like! Yes, basically a hole and the floor with no toilet paper. But there is the handy, dandy sprayer. At the bigger places like the malls, theaters, etc. there is usually the option of a "Western" toilet. And the floors are always soaked even if they are clean! Go ahead and try to get a visual of us maneuvering this situation with no hooks to hang your purse and doning a floor-length black abaya! You'll enjoy it!

And yes, my friends, those really are skinned goats you see hanging. Tempted??

Never a lack of something fun to see here in Saudi Arabia!

Interesting. Nice restroom pic, that must be what they use in Japan. Bruce served his mission there and has told me they don't sit they "squat". Doesn't look fun to me.
