National Day

For the UAE National Day I wore the traditional robe and head scarf as I have for the past two years.

In this picture I am with my friend Mansour.  (Mansour was with me on the trip to Canada last spring.)  For the record he's wearing the egal (headbands) and headscarf (guttra) the right way.  I am not.

My American boss saw me in this and said, "You are just too white for this combination."

I thought "He's right.  I'm one step away from being recruited by the klan."

So I went out and had my beard colored.

Pictures tomorrow.
