Karen showed me the following video last week, and then shared with me that the creator of this video will be in Houston this Tuesday, to recreate the event here.  Rosenthal created the video as an experiment to follow her video 17 Things I Made

I triple dog dare you to watch this video and not feel a little twinge of something. Anything. Lovely.


Please help me spread the word.  And hope to see you there on Tuesday to help beckon lovely. Because there can never be enough lovely in the world.

WHEN: Tuesday March 31st, 6:00-7:00 pm
WHO: Nice, interesting people like you

It was pretty dark, so the pics and video didn’t come out that well. But, dude, I totally rode a camel.

I had never toked the Hookah before, so Bryan and Mohammed were fine making fun of teaching me. Hey, it’s not as easy as it looks.

However, I did find a hilarious You Tube video of a Filipino prison choreographing Thriller.

Today one of our Saudi agents for the show took us to the Bahrain Fort. The site is believed to have been constructed around 2800 BC, and is subsequently overlaid by various fortified settlements. The last was built during the 16th century to defend recent acquisition of Portugal. The Bahrain Fort is also known as the Portuguese Fort, due to this reason.

Tomorrow: camel rides!

Some pics and video of the Fort: (sorry in advance for the wonky camera work on the video.)
