Oman

We just got back from Oman, a country just east of us, and had a great time. Oman is a great country, with a rich culture and friendly people. There were also lots of things to see! But first, we wanted to spend some time by the pool!! Max is getting better at swimming (at least he kicks his legs now). The floaties help.


The next day was a day reserved for siteseeing. First we hit the Grand Mosque, which was incredible. It was absolutely huge.



Incredibly, this carpet was made in one piece and loomed inside the actual room. You can see how big the room is by the tiny person in the back and to the left.


Next stop, the souq in Muscat (the capital of Oman). Gorgeous and full of people that really wanted to sell us stuff!



Lastly, we walked around the town, where I captured this photo of a lovely mosque.
