****the previous post was made 3 days ago but blogger didn't upload my pictures until last night. I am super behind on updates,but since I am writing from the future I think I'm ok*******
On our first Thursday or Wednesday ( I really can't remember) we took a little walk over to the shoreline. We had seen the beach with playgrounds and other fun things every time we were in the car and Elena was very sure we needed to go there.
We don't have many pictures because David learned long time ago that Saudis didn't take pictures of people, it is disrespectful. I am finding out more and more about that, I think it depends on some people that might get offended by it. We saw some people with a camera and a video camera at the beach. My guess is that in some places we will fine taking pictures and in some no, definitely do not take pictures of someone you don't know!
The beach is really pretty and we found people fishing, having a picnic, in the playgrounds, horses or four wheelers. Yes, you read right. I notice that the africans have horses and they "dress them up" and then charge you to go and take a ride, mostly kids do it. As for the four wheelers I believe they are run by other middle easters members, they charge you 10 Riyals to go around the park twice. We convinced them to let us go 3 times!!! They are crazy though, they let little kids drive those things and some of them are not very good, plus the play area is right there, they could run over other little kids. It is a mess, but Elena loved it all.
*******Primero que nada, el anuncio anterior lo hice como hace 3 dias pero la pagina no me dejaba subir las fotos, asi que estoy retrasadisima! Pero como les estoy escribiendo desde el futuro yo creo que no esta tan mal;-) !*****************************
Nuestro primer Jueves o Miercoles la verdad no me acuerdo, fuimos a ver una playa que esta cerquita del hotel. La habiamos visto antes desde el carro cada vez que saliamos, Elenita estaba mas que segura de que teniamos que ir a verla!
No tenemos muchas fotos porque David aprendio ase mucho que a los Saudis no les parece apropiado tomar fotos de personas. Yo he aprendido mas y mas que eso depende en con quien estes. Definitivamente no tomes fotos de personas que no conoces!
La playa esta muy bonita, vimos gente pescando, comiendose un picnic, en los columpios, caballos o en los four wheelers. Yo me di cuenta que los africanos son los que tienen los caballos, los visten bonitos y despues te cobran para que te den una colita. Lo mismo con los four wheelers, aunque dejan que ninitos chiquiticos manejen estos. Ellos la verdad no son los mejores conductores y los columpios estan ahi mismito. Ellos estan esperando a que atropeyen a un chiquito. Con todo y eso, Elenita estaba enamorada!!
On our way over to the beach. She decided it was too hot,she was done! We are just outside the hotel!
En camino a la playa, la chiquitica decidio hacia mucho calor y que ya se canso! Estabamos apenas a fuera del hotel!
Desde esa vez que fuimos a casa de Lyle Elenita esta loquita por esas four wheelers, asi que le dimos una colita en una de esas. Bueno David llevo a las dos nenas, yo me quede mirando, no queria atropeyar a nadie.
