Ibrahim and Steffen: Ib is an Omani doctor, and was our roommate for the month before I left. I'm pretty sure that Steffen is intentionally blinking.
Dave: An American working for a contractor over in Oman. He was gracious enough to welcome us into his home for a few weeks and on many adventures during my time in Oman. Definitely a character! :)
The La Bellas: Elizabeth and her parents. I spent more than a few nights eating their food and talking about life in the Middle East. An great group of people and they make amazing spaghetti! (and they all look a little pissed off in this picture :) )
Elizabeth and I: She liked to punch me. Alot.
Christiana: An English teacher who I met early in my trip. She tried to get me a job, and gave me the opportunity to volunteer in her class. It was a rewarding way to meet some Omani women!
I really enjoyed getting to know these people, especially the welcome feeling I got from the ex-pat community in Oman. It was amazing that once you meet one person from that group, suddenly you know everyone. Especially Elizabeth, who made me do stuff while Steffen was gone! Otherwise I might have just read books and eaten dried strawberries all day... though I did quite a bit of that anyway :)
you could have been a teacher in oman!!??
