Carolyn's Post

Just ten days and we're up and away! I thought it might be helpful to post a map of Oman (as you can see, it's at the very end of the Persian Gulf). Click on the map to see it larger.

I've been having fun reading several books about the Middle East - most recently Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson, which is currently on the New York Times best seller's list. Its a wonderful story, and amazing what this one man has accomplished bringing education, especially for girls, to remote areas of Pakistan.

We will be staying in our host's farmhouse just outside the capital city of Muscat as a home base, with side trips to the surrounding area and then farther afield to Sur and Salalah. cck
