New Set of Wheels

We are officially the owners of a 2008 white Ford Expedition. It is a large, safe vehicle. And, yes, I do feel a bit like a soccer mom driving around the camp. A substantial size car is necessary here in Saudi Arabia as the roads are quite dangerous. They are good quality, large roads. It is the drivers that are CRAZY here, so a large vehicle is necessary in case of any kind of accident. I have never seen people drive so fast and swerve through four lanes to make a quick turn.

And, yes, we did get a DVD player. Anyone that doesn't understand the need for this has never had to wait several hours to make it through the Saudi/Bahrain customs, immigrations and police checkpoints. The DVD is a welcome distraction to a bored one-year old!
