Our World: Jeddah - Sculpture 28 Winding Steps

It's difficult to get a good picture of the details of this lovely sculpture in Jeddah because it is placed on a very busy street where it is impossible to stop in the car and set up a shot.  The sculpture is made of cast alloy and is the creation of German sculptor Ottmar Hollman, who made many works of art for the city of Jeddah.  At the very top of the sculpture is a crescent moon and an astrolabe, while the twisting etched steps below signify life's journey.

The addition of a new baby to a Saudi family is often marked by decorating the door of the hospital room of the mother.

SkyWatch: Jeddah Mosque on the Red Sea

One of Jeddah's hundreds of mosques sits right along the edge of the Red Sea. There is construction development happening between it and the Jeddah Hilton.  The land along the sea is of course premium real estate, so I'm sure the development will be something very fancy and expensive.

CDP Theme Day - Loving Life

I just returned to Saudi Arabia after spending more than two months in the USA.  While I was happy to be able to spend the holidays with my family, I really missed my husband too.  I was apart from him all that time, although we chatted on the phone almost every day.  Living here in the Magic Kingdom has grown on me - I actually have a very good life here.  My place is with my husband and I am happiest with him.  Upon my arrival back to Jeddah on the way back from the airport to home, we stopped at a neighborhood restaurant for shawarma and fresh squeezed fruit juice.  The simple things in life make me happy.
