Where In The WORLD Are We?

A Fun Day in Saudi

Today we went to Chucky Cheese for the second time this week. The kids love it. There was a skating rink inside! My kids have never been ice skating. They had a blast! After that, we went to the Hilton where they have a private beach. There was a huge tank outside with a guy sitting on it ready for action! It was weird, but at least security was tight. It was a beautiful hotel. 

   We saw the white mosque. Our presence was quite the spectacle. Everyone was staring and some boys were staying stuff to us in arabic. A man even came up and asked us where we were from. That doesn't happen here very often. I think he had a bet with another man, because he turned to him right away. People don't usually think that we are American because we have 4 kids. Also, they have very blond hair. They usually think we are German. Swedish people are seen in a good light here right now because they are taking a lot of the Iraqi refugees. I think they thought we were Swedish. We will never know.

It must be strange to see a tank right outside the hotel ready for action. When I was in Venezuala years ago it was strange to me to see the military patrolling the airports and other public areas with machine guns. It seemed surreal as if I was on a movie set. My prayers are with you to be safe.
