The girls woke up talking all about their night at Maryams home. They had a great time and came back with some wearable souvenirs.
We followed that session up with a tour of the newly constructed Residence Halls for Education City.
We grabbed a quick bite to eat in their cafeteria and then
headed to the Museum of Modern Art.
Honestly, Modern Art isn’t my thing. I appreciate the value
art brings to our lives, but I just don’t seem to “get” it. And maybe that’s
relative and art is interpretive and all that, but, well… what do you think when
you see this…
Beetle Juice Beetle Juice BEETLE JUICE!!
Right?
We saw several very interesting exhibits and the students
did a great job offering their perspective. I think it’s just over my head… all
so deep.
They saw hand grenades and I saw vintage perfume bottles.
They saw
land mines and I saw crowns.
They saw human hair and I saw…. Human hair.

HAHA! I know… why I am throwing mine away when it can become
art?
My favorite part of the museum was the signs to the bathrooms. Seriously. Love this. (And I would like to point out that ALL the signs are in both English and Arabic. So all of you people that say we shouldn't have signs in Spanish because "English is the 'Merican language and when you live in America you should speak English....)

After we explored the museum we got on our bus and headed to
Corniche to take a Dhow Tour around the harbor. Any chance the students get to
sleep, they seem to take it…
The tour was perfect – although slightly dusty. The breeze
from the gulf was refreshing, the food was excellent and the company couldn’t get
any better.
The night ended with a dance party (ladies only) ...
and some shopping. I may have bought some jewelry and I am so excited to see the finished product. Rachel took us to her favorite place in town and we selected some pieces to be specially made for us. And I’m 100% confident in the workmanship of the jeweler because he clearly has good taste…

One more day and then we head home...
