Now we are really getting to the Middle East. Men and women in long clothing. Men in white long coats with a small hat. Women with black coats and scarves. A few ladies with face veils. Oman is a beautiful, clean, and very friendly country. We were in and out in one day. Took a morning tour on a dhow boat around the harbour. This was a wooden boat with that was new but looked very old. Sat on the top deck. We took turns pretending to drive the boat. We saw the king’s official palace, the parliament, the king’s two huge yachts, the left over Portuguese fort and lookout perches from four hundred years ago, the lovely mountains around the city, and two turtles. This peaceful kingdom has been ruled by the same royal family since the Portuguese times. They get along with their neighbors and use their oil to keep up the living standards of the population. Guess what?!? Warm weather with a nice breeze and NO HUMIDITY!!!
