Weekend in Bahrain

We hit Bahrain in the middle of a desert sandstorm which lasted into the next day. So my pictures are not too great. Our friends Imee and Leo kindly took us to the lookout on the border of Saudi Arabia. They said on a clear day you can see buildings in Saudi Arabia. We did get to see the causeway stretching away into Saudi Arabia. It is a very strict Muslim country and the residents come into Bahrain for some recreation where life is much more liberal. You can hardly tell that Bahrain is a Muslim country, it is surprisingly liberal.
