We visited the first women's college in Saudi Arabia today. It was a dream of Queen Effat's and based on her quote, "The uneducated woman is the weakest link of a society." There are some amazing and progressive changes going on in modern Saudi Arabia! Another little known fact: WOMEN GET EQUAL PAY FOR EQUAL JOBS. What a concept... We then had lunch at Byblos restaurant, which was another extravagant affair. I met and talked to so many interesting people. I will be updating you on some of these asap. As you can "sea" we ate dinner on the Red Sea. The girl in the photo is someone I also have more to tell you about. She will be coming to America soon for college studies. By the way, a girl can get Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi in any country, even if it's written in Arabic.

Hey, Stacy! I'm all for the Diet Coke, especially since our machine has broken during the week we need it so badly! By the way, I love your smile in all the photos. I am so glad you are experiencing this.
Miss you, Pat
