Delivery Drive by

I am sorry for not posting more pictures -Particularly, Reina in an abbya. Nate says he is going to make T-shirts with Reina on front in full abbya...

And since were on the topic...It is tough to be a woman here. For instance, Reina called in some Indian food yesterday and drove out to the security checkpoint to pick it up. Big mistake. On camp, she can drive. Outside on the Saudi roads, no women drivers. As she rolled up to the security checkpoint, they politely told her, "Sorry. You must u-turn. Women not allowed to drive." Oops. I forgot.

She parked and walked around the security point, paying the driver and returning past the snickering guards. Silly women, cars are not for chicks.

Regardless, the Indian food is insanely tasty. Even Dia likes it -She snorts, smiles and coughs in approval when she eats spicy masala. We bought a bucket of food (that could feed five) for a mere 6 bucks.
