We were greeted outside our lobby by the a Hijazi folkloric band and dancers. They played music and danced us to our large room with carpets for dancing. For the next several hours we enjoyed Hijazi folkloric dancing, along with a fine dinner.

A Hijazi Folkloric Band
We did leave the wonderful hotel in Jeddah to head to the Durah Beach Resort on the Red Sea. The drive took about an hour, and then we checked in and met in the lobby. A bunch of us guys bought thobes today in the souq, and we wore them to dinner tonight. It was strange wearing this garment, and I had a difficult time getting my headwear correct. Saudi men kept coming by and fixing it for me!

Dear Mr. Heiden

Again, your ovious best student,Adam [I mean of course Jackson and Cody aren't].
Is there a significance to the type of or color of your head dressing? What about the black robe vs. white?

Adam, I'm sorry to hear you are sick...six days is a lot of time. You'll have some homework to do over winter break! I hope you are feeling better now though so you can enjoy your break. And, yes, you are the best student in the whole world!
Dr. Reichanadter, The color of the headdress is something that some tribes wore, or sometimes I think it depends on just changing colors like we might change our shirt or tie color. Red and white is a traditional Saudi color combo from what I have heard though.
Tell Mrs. Hahn that we are enjoying your blog. Sorry that she is has had trouble with her blog. Noah is at our house in Saline and leaves for home tomorrow. Noah got 3 of his grades. They were good...A's and B's. What a trip!
Dear Mr.Heiden
