The flavor is a lot different from the one I'm used to in Dallas . . . that is for sure.

Yes, a huge mosque is on the grounds of the Citadel . . . I went inside the mosque on a previous trip

and completely unplanned . . . the taxi was just zipping down the street and I tried for various shots as going . . .

Very interesting perspective.

Is that a mosque in the background? Looks awesome!

Wow! What a cool shot to get a flavor of the area! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for stopping by!!

I wish I could spend 7 weeks there . , , at keast at one time. I think after 3 trips I'm close to 7 weeks, but would like to go for a few months!

This was unusually light traffic, believe me!!! It was early Friday afternoon, which is like their Sunday! Later in the day it gets really busy. I noticed while I was there that I would be up at around 6 to 7 am and it would be fairly quiet, then things would start to pickup around 2pm and be really roaring around 10pm to midnight without letup until 4am! I hardly every got a good sleep because of the traffic.

I think I have other pix to post that might show more traffic, but maybe not, because I was out early in the day when I took some of those too!

I am surprised that the streets and highways there are not much more crowded.

yes, new relatives! Remember when you get married you get a whole new family . . . not that my mother likes that idea too much since they aren't rednecks from Arkansas! Oh, but wait, she doesn't like anyone that married my brothers . . . I wonder what she will think about Ahmed when she meets him? hmmmmm??? I think he is very nice and will win her over.

HALOO ! new Relatives !

HAPPY EASTER!!!
KISSES

HAHAH COOOL !

I can Understand !

Yep...the dangling objects :) It does provided an interesting frame for the Citadel.
