Friday Night at the Sheraton

I've gone native. I wearing a gown in the hotel room now. I know they have a special name for it, but it looks like a gown to me. Benjamin - you have one too - it will just fit into a suitcase to Benin!

And there was a place called Ba'Ateyah Jewellery, or Shop No. 79, in the souk. They are making a pendant for a necklace - it's what they call a Saudi Diamond. It's a clear, rounded stone found in the desert, I'm told. Or, it may just be clear glass imported from Japan. I will make its way to TRH, if it gets delivered to the hotel Tuesday as planned. Also bought a really old stone grinder and a cowbell - very TRH-looking stuff. I bargained for them last April but didn't buy; this time I did.

They told me I was supposed to wear light pants underneath. But in the hotel room nobody looks to be sure!
