We had the privilege of relaxing at a resort for a few hours Friday morning. (Which is Sunday here in Saudi.) Aramco made it possible for us to jet ski, snorkel, take a boat ride, swim by the pool or in the sea, as well as other activities. Completely exhausted from our rigorous schedule, I opted to build a sand castle, swim in the sea, and snorkel. I was able to take some underwater pictures which will be developed as soon as I get home! I've never been to a resort before, so it was quite a treat. Aramco knows how to treat it's guests. (BTW--They will be hosting international delegates here in upcoming months as they undertake ground breaking for a new university in Jeddah. Even King Abdullah himself will be here for the festivities.)

Senerick those Pictures are outstanding. Is that really how the beaches look. It looks beautiful.
So I guess you can take pictures of people. Then why were they so strick about it??

P.S Can the Saudi Students read the letters and how do people over there react after seeing an American on Saudi Soil?
The beaches in Jeddah are great, but I regret the fact that you didn’t get a chance to take a boat or a yacht ride, it would’ve been Wonderful!! Also the speed jets are quite a ride here, I hope when you come back again we’ll get you to experience all that. :) Jeddah is full of water-sports that are simply .. fabulous.

Hey Mr. Senerick
What is the Kingdom tower and are the buildings all older, or are there alot of new things there?
How many malls are there, and is everyone allowed to go to them.?

SENRICKO!
Those pictures you took on the beach and the resort are amazing. It looks really modern and developed there.
Did you get to give the Saudi students our letters? If you did, are they going to reply?
We miss you.

(what what)
What is your favorite food that you have tried so far? What kind of foods do most restaurants serve there?

Jealous much?!!!!!!!!
OMG!!! Those pictures were so cool. The sand castle you made was pretty impressive. So did you meet any Saudi students? If so, what are they like? Did they get our letters? Anyways, what has been the best experience you've had so far? I think you should make another presentation, like a slide show or something. You should also bring back a thobe to show us or some necklaces. Anyways, can't wait for you to get back, see ya!!!

The resort sounds so relaxing. oh fo sho. Like Navita said, how come you cant take pictures of buldings and people, but you could take them at the beach? It doesnt really make sense...
