This is a really pretty city. There are two tall buildings, one of which the hotel is in. The other is 1/2 mile away and shaped like a globe. This one is an arch -- about 100 floors high.
I do have some pictures of this arch, but only after drawing a crowd of 4 security guards when I went outside to take pictures of it this morning. Doesn't seem to be allowed. I went up in the arch this evening, but could not take the camera -- although many of the people visiting the arch had cameras in their phone and used them. Go figure -- just not allowed to take good pictures from the arch I suppose. But, guess what my camera phone has on it now???
Also visited the old city today, reminded me of the wall around Istanbul - except this one made of mud and stone and only a couple of hundred years old. Lots of pictures there.
Went to lunch in a traditional restaurant with two from the consulting firm sponsoring the training. Had camel to eat -- really. It was broiled and tasted like beef. Other than that, lots of lamb, humicie, chicken, etc. Not really too spicy or out of the ordinary.
Had a hamburger from McDonalds for breakfast --- no breakfast menus here, but they are planning to have that soon.
Got caught in prayer time in the mall again - all stores closed for 30 minutes around sundown -- 6 pm. Last night's closing was around 8pm - so I wonder if they'll close again tonight?
Snowed here this morning
