There's One (Or Two) In Every Crowd ...

Day two in Saudi Arabia.  We had a late-ish night yesterday, with a dinner out in Jeddah complete with Arabian singing, dancing, and music.  We didn't get to bed until almost midnight after an energetic afternoon of touring, so today we are "recuperating" aboard ship.  Tomorrow we leave on the bullet train for Medina, which will be a long day, and the day after we take off on a flight to Al Ula where we will spend the night before returning to Jeddah the following day.

This is currently our view from the stern of our ship as we lie alongside the dock -- hundreds and hundreds of dusty cars, most of them in various shades of desert, but with a few extroverts thrown in for good measure.  Not sure if they are new arrivals to Saudi, or if they are lined up on the dock awaiting shipment to somewhere else.
