Duba Pablo and I headed for our favorite dirt mound to watch the sunset last night. The dogs guarded my spot for about 30 minutes waiting for the show only we watched. It was a good one I may have to do it again tonight. After the sunset I thought a short walk along the trail surrounding the DQ was a good idea. Three hours later, tired and thirsty we returned home, next time I take taxi money, a map, a cell phone and a GPS. I have only the taxi fair as yet so I might have to stick with the area surrounding our house that I know for now. I could have always flagged down a policeman but, I didn't want to admit I was lost and stupid enough not to know where I was. I could just see the report being sent to the Embassy about me and I'm not even officially there. A- arrived soon after my adventure we had dinner of his favorite eggplant dish. Then off to get a rental car with a driver, I grabbed my tent and A his wallet after a thirty minute ride we arrived at Avis Rental Car. Yep Avis not something exotic like Ali's fling carpets. They had a few cars to choose from and A picks a Toyota Camry automatic of course it's a big city with lots of traffic. I step into the car tent and almost got sick. The car as all cars at rental agencies are smoke scented. Our ride home included a stop at the gas station because the tank was empty and following the driver back to the DQ through all the rush hour traffic. A poster at Avis stated that seven of the eight years it was voted number one rental car agency in Saudi. I wonder who gets to vote? We returned home with our lungs feeling as if we had smoked a pack of cigarets. Ugh......................
