We took at trip to the Souq last night. It is the same as the Farmer's Market in St. Jacob's, just Middle Eastern style. After trying to get a parking spot for about an hour, we finally made our way through the bustling corridors and and found a place to eat. We had a nice meal with the kids in the roof top of an International Restaurant with a French name. Too funny. The food was good...hummus, tabbouleh, pita bread, kabobs, etc. We walked through the Souq for a couple of hours and then spent an hour trying to get out of the parking lot. Having hopped the curb with or car, I didn't have a parking ticket which caused a little bit of a problem for us. We ended up paying 5 Riyals. Pretty cheap. The traffic is a nightmare here and it gets the better of you. For example, I was trying to turn left in the parking lot. Five cars would not let me in, and the last guy, he just rubbed me the wrong way. I opened the door and just stared at him...I mean stared at him. Linds corrected my judgement. Good thing! I was ready to strangle the dude. Anyways, here are some more pics for you to look at.
