Dr GO. I assume you took no women.

No. We did not take women. We did have dinner back at the hotel one night with a women that traveled from North Carolina, that was also at the medical school working as a consultant for their pharmacy. She was in tears as she was just released by the "religious police" after she was held for questioning for walking alone (without escort) along a street, and evidently was also not wearing her head dress to specifications. She was so broken by this questioning.

Also, I had to get special clearance from the government to interact with women students at the medical school. I went up to the woman's building (they are taught at a separate place from the men) to meet with the faculty, and the group of men I was with were frantically calling at me saying: "Dr Gary, Dr. Gary, get away from the entrance and come wait with us or you will loose your parts". Evidently, the protocol is I had to be be met off their entry and escorted into the building after being acknowledged.

Very strange place Saudi Arabia is. I did come back with all my parts intact. Really do not want to go back there again. Only good thing about the trip is I love the Pocket Trumpet I purchased to take with me.

Now that was really interesting. I use P.E.T.E. and the end of each day and now I will add Fish Face. I tried it as he was talking and I could feel its effect immediately. Thanks for that, Steve.
