Art Museum & Ritz Carlton

This isn’t my story tell, it is Spencer’s so one day if he decides to write anything he can add on.  Basically, MWR, Eskan’s trip/fun/activity planners had a trip to an Art Museum and dinner at the Ritz Carlton organized.  I had to work, which is usually the case for anything interesting going on, but Spencer had the evening off so he signed up to go.


There was a small group about 6 of them total.  There was a local mother and daughter that were coming along.  Before leaving Eskan village they were uncovered, no hijab, but the minute they drove away Spencer said he looked back and the daughter was covered from head to toe.  Is religious practice just a locality, over here you can be free but over here you need to cover up?  Sounds a bit weird to me.  She also refused to be in any of the pictures Spencer took.

They attempted to visit one museum which was closed, but got into two others.  One was a female exhibit.  Spencer enjoyed the exhibits.
Dinner was similar to what we experienced at the Saudi wedding we attended.  But the desserts were a little disappointing. If you are going to pay 200SAR for something , you expect it to be good!
