So sorry to hear Dad has the bug and you’ve
got so much more work. Sleep well, dear snugs.
And take care of you.
I was thinking the exact same thing!
What beautiful girls! And the cane dancers seem to be cracking up with him.
We’ll never know the riches the
Clintons “received” from foreign
countries and stashed away .. never.
Good night snugs, sleep well and pleasant dreams
that is true
U.S. President George W. Bush and Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid al-Maktoum are greeted by children during Bush's visit to the Sheikh Saeed Al Maktoum House in Dubai January 14, 2008. The house serves as a Museum of Historical Photographs and Documents of the Emirate of Dubai.
The sheikhs sure like those big gold chains and medals as awards and gifts, don’t they? They’ll be a great addition to the George W. Bush Presidential Library.
Sorry your Dad is sick!!!Prayers that he gets well soon and that you do not get the bug.
Those little girls are so pretty!
I thought it was that round thingie that holds the headgear on. There are over 200 princes in Saudi Arabia.
She is, isn't she. Her hubby is a big guy and they have 3 or 4 Great Danes. Guess he must walk them, lol.
I canNOT see her walking a Great Dane! Riding one, yes...walking one, no WAY! LOL!
Good night, Snugs....though you are already gone.
Sweet dreams...hope your dad is well very soon!
I am so sorry that you had to spend Christmas in the hospital and I hope you are doing well now.
If you mean the colored robes, then the colors have no significance that I am aware of. Everyone normally wears white "thobes", but they are of a very thin cloth for the normal high temperatures. Dark colors (blues, browns, black) are worn in winter because of the additional weight and thickness of the materials. And, it has been colder in Riyadh for the past 4 days than I can ever remember.
Please note that royalty and leaders of major tribes where a lighter covering over the thobe---gold is a favorite color. This is generally worn at public events.
Incidentally, what wonderful collection of photos everyone posted. Certainly this contrasts sharply with the stereotypes often seen in the media and in Freeperland.
Prayers for your Dad.
PoC
Thanks for the info including weather report
Snugs we owe you a thank you. I’m sorry your Dad is ill. Hope he feels better today.
Thanks for the dose - I just LOVE this trip. Seeing different things. The birds are amazing. I always feel uncomfortable for the men in dresses. I’m sure they’re used to it, but not even I like dresses much.
BTW, all, Greta seems to be on a lower floor than the President, or maybe I should say he seems to be on a raised platform. I could be wrong.
Dana on the other hand looks tiny
