Persian Gulf

Yay! We are finally here! We are in Saudi Arabia and on the coast of the Persian Gulf. I already like it here. We landed at about 6:00pm. It was still light out but we had to go check in to the hotel. We all unpacked and decided to stay in Saudi Arabia 3 extra days because it was so beautiful. By then it was about 7:00 and we decided to go to dinner. After that we found out that there was a festival so we went and that was cool. It was about 9pm when we left that and so we went to the hotel and went to sleep.

The next day we went to finally see the Persian Gulf. Abraham didn't want us to go in the water but we begged him to let us so he finally did. Then after about 5 minutes he told us to get out because he had a surprise for us. The surprise was a boat trip. So we got on and headed out. The sailor guy told us some interesting facts. He said that the Persian Gulf is about 615 miles long and 35 miles wide. He said that it is about 150 feet deep but in some places 300 feet. After all that he told us some more but I can't remember them. Then Abraham told us some more facts about the wildlife. He said that the Persian Gulf is notorious for crabs. He said that the temperature is high and high in salt content(40%). Then the sailor guy turned around and Phuong fell off. It was kind of hard not to laugh but Abraham and the Sailor guy ran to her rescue. After that incident Abraham started talking some more. He said that one side of the Persian Gulf is flat while the other is mountainous. We made it to the shore and we said thanks and headed to the hotel. Phuong had to change and then we were going to go to dinner. We ate and then went to the hotel. We stayed two more days and then left to go to see somewhere else.

Peace, Love and Hope
