Interlude: Gas,Pomegranates & Fezzes

What an incredible weekend! I am completely exhausted. Before I write up my weekend tomorrow (inshallah) to tell you about my visit with Maryam in al Yehmady and my trip to Jebel Akhdar, two quick notes.

1) Here's a picture of the gas prices in Oman. The prices range from 120 besa to 146 besa per liter. 1000 Besa make an Omani rial, which is worth about $3 USD.
...which makes gas about 30-35 cents per liter here.
Yes. You read that right.
2). Last week my mango wore a turban & this week, my pomegranate wore a fez. I had no idea fruits were so into stylish headgear! Wait a minute...

More soon!
