Shots of q8

On saturday, I went on a tour of the town led by the AWARE center...a place whose mission it is to further understanding between Arabs and Westerners. We got into some pretty cool places..



A place I had not visited was the diwaneya of an influential Kuwaiti family. These photos show that there is a lot of history recorded here. A diwaneya is a meeting place, for men, to discuss political and business events. In pelican rapids, we would call this the Round Table.








A lovely shot onto the dhow parking lot.


This is the jail in Naif Palace. I will have a whole blog post on what I saw here.


a few of us good lookin' AISers posing along with the Crown Prince (left) and Amir Jaber.


The mosque and the old well in Naif palace, which was used as a palace in 1919, but is the current site of executions. No folks, no photos of that!

Location:All around the town
