SUPER SIZE ME!!!!!

Here is the McDs in our neighborhood. It is located about a four or five minute walk away. On the weekends and especially after school lets out at the start of the weekend(Wednesday) it is bustling. During Ramadhan they are open until 4 am. Not sure about eating a Big Mac for suhoor (pre-fast meal normally around 3 or 4 in the am).
On the menu they do have some ethnic food like the McArabia made with beef kofta and arabic spices served on pita bread and some traditional arab sweets (cheap knock offs) . We normally only go to McDs for the ice cream.

You can post now.

I apologize. Previously non-registered bloggers were not allowed to post. I have since changed that setting so now everyone can post.

This obviously is NOT our home but a Saudi friend of mine.

Our Neighborhood

I will begin by sharing some photos of our neighborhood called Izdehar here in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

This is a shot of our building, we live on the second floor. You can see there are several store fronts below our apt.

Notice the street signs are in all arabic on the side roads.

Our local masjid is less then a "stone throw" away. It is right across the street from where we live.

Welcome!!!

In the Name of Allah the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
