A note about this blog:

I tried to publish photos of my trip as I went. The trip is done but I am still working on sifting through the thousands of photos I took so I can go back and put up photos from almost every day (my trip went until Dec 22). I will also be going back to photos I already posted and adding explanatory text. So, this photo journal will be filling out in the days and weeks to come as I can find time between school. Please come back often to see what's new!

Day 10 - Oct 30

JEWELRY ARABIA

Jewelry Arabia  is the largest, most prestigious jewelry exhibition in the entire Middle East. The finest jewelry makers from all over the world come every year to exhibit and sell their work at this multi-day event. I felt out of place there as I was surrounded by people with lots of money buying very expensive jewelry. But I think people must have assumed I had money. Luckily, that made it a little easier for me to eat the many expensive, very fancy, complimentary chocolates. Like eating the samples at Costco but never buying anything.

Natural pearls.

 A golden dhow,
