Day 51- Picnic in the Sand

Friday November 6th, 2009


Talal, Kristi, Karoomi, and I went out for a picnic in the sand/desert area. It was in an area called Old Derayah, which is the original capital before it was Riyadh. You can see some old castles and buildings for 60+ years ago which they are trying to preserve.

We found a nice place which had huge rocks that made a U shaped cabana-like area to set up picnic or to have a bar-b-q. There was a lot of them, so they were man-made with real rocks. It is designed so that each group or each family can sit in their own cabana.

Kristi made very yummy chicken & grilled onion sandwiches and before we got there, we stopped by a mini convenient store and bought some pop and some chips. As soon as we set up, we decided to eat. Afterwards, Talal and Kristi decided to go for a long walk in the desert, and it was LONG! I stayed with Karoomi since he fell asleep and plus I didn’t have my sunglasses and the sun was very bright!

We stayed there for a few hours, but honestly, it was very calm and relaxing yet fun!

I took some pictures, so I will post them soon inshAllah.

Much Love, HKA in KSA
