The last few days we have been going nonstop and everyone has been completely exhausted. In the evenings we've been going to some really nice restaurants. In the US a nice restaurant would consist of a rather small portion of food. Here food comes in by the truckloads literally putting you into a food coma. Every evening I attempt to blog about our days experiences but keep finding myself asleep at my desk.
Thursday evening we had the opportunity for an evening in the desert. We stayed at a nice place called Saudi Safari. (see photo)
It was a nice relaxing evening for us. We played some desert volleyball and took a Safari ride to see animals running around the desert. After a few miles into our desert safari ride we stopped atop a hill and took some photos. Brad and Branden used this opportunity for a quick photo shoot:
Saturday was probably our most important day of the trip. We were on King Saud University Girls Campus shadowing the FTR International Safety team. The safety presentations given by James Moffat, Jeff Freundlich and Richard Sellars were excellent. Richard gave a presentation on Crane and Rigging. I walked away with valuable information. These gentlemen have an extremely difficult task at hand and I applaud them for the job they have and will continue to do.
Sunday we spent the day at the KSU Boys campus meeting the entire Engineering Department. We listened to presentations on their program as well as research that was taking place. We were given tours around all of their labs and had a nice lunch with the head of Civil Engineering. That afternoon we were partnered with a student and given a task to complete. It was a wonderful interacting with them.
That's all for now. Pictures will be coming up soon from everyone.
