I'm in Houston

My flight was fine to Houston today, and then I got a nice car service ride to the DoubleTree hotel where we are staying. It was great to get to meet the people that I will spend the next two weeks with, and I was even surprised to meet one person that teaches just south of Indianapolis! Tonight was just mostly about having dinner, learning some names, and then getting some sleep. Tomorrow we are heading over to Aramco (the Saudi National Oil Company, who is the sponsor of this trip) to learn about the trip, and to learn about Saudi Arabia. I will be sure to share what I am learning tomorrow evening.

Jacob,

I will send a picture of food because often that is one of the most unique parts of any trip to another country.

dear Mr.heiden,

Can you send us a picture of the factory? Could you take pictures of some animals in Saudi Arabia. Because you know I collect animal pictures. So because my mom is letting me hang some on the wall I need more for the frames.
