KSA Night 4: Sunset Beach Resort
Wow! The Sunset Beach Resort was absolutely awesome. This is a resort for the extremely rich and I doubt many teachers have been here other than from the educator's program. We began by taking pictures with the camels and getting a very short ride on the beach. We had wonderful tea while we listened and danced to traditional Saudi music. The music was wonderful eventhough my dancing was quite autrocious. We had a great selection of authentic food that I thought was all very good. In-between dancing and eating I was able to interview one of our women tour guides that is high up in public relations at Saudi Aramco. She was very candid in her description of Saudi Arabia. It has changed in ways that she thinks is good for the country, but it has also changed in some unpleasant ways. She likes how the country is progressing in rights, but she does not like how children have changed. As times have changed teenagers have become more verbal and rebellious towards their parents. When she was growing up she would have never said no to her mother. She would have found a way to work out things with her mother, but never would have battled against her. Now, kids are being pushed to grow up fast, but they do not mature as fast as the media would like to help them think they do. She is concerned that teenagers will get more bold, disrespectful, and not make good decisions based on their parents experience. This is a concern considering the following statistics:

The Sunset Beach Resort sounds exciting! I have to agree with Emily and Elizabeth and Mikayla when they ask about the camels. I haven't seen a camel outside of a zoo, so they sound fun an interesting. What was your's name?

Hey Mr. Andres! Hows your trip going? Did you ride the camel? Looks and sounds like you are having fun! Do you like the foods that they eat there?

hi mr. andres
did you get one of those tatoos on your arm?
I rode the camel. It was an unbelievable feeling when I was lifted in the air by the camel.
I did not get a Henna tattoo, but enjoyed taking pictures. Initially, it is very messy and can stain clothing. The Henna will last about two weeks and is available in the U.S. The women teachers have been stopped throughout the trip and complimented on their designs.
