  6. Hans-
    The museum was really neat. The outside looked super-cool. The city's skyline is just across the water behind the museum and it is a sight to see.
    re: pots being 50 years old- LOL

    Andrew- I bought some stuff today for my family, but I will bring some other stuff back to give out as prizes for people who write the best comments!

  12. Hi Rose!
    I'll tell you all about it when I see you guys. I did learn some more Arabic. Most of it I have no idea how to spell though!

    Elizabeth-
    the weather is great. In the summer it gets unbearably hot, but luckily its not summer yet!

    Bren- I am home! Just landed 2 hours ago. I have a little something for the girls, too.

    Was it difficult getting arround there?

  19. Trevor G-
    It wasn't hard for a few reasons-
    1. They drove us in a bus to the conference and to sight-seeing everyday and
    2. Our hotel was right in the city, so it wasn't hard to walk anywhere at night.
