Salalah and Muscat Oman

Salalah, Oman. I've been enjoying snapping pics of signs of the towns and countries, along with other random things.
A mosque behind beautiful iron fence, and a building with intricate designs on the entrance arch.
Here's the Omani flag, and a surprising cultural blend of traditionally dressed women in the "Ladies Only" line of a McDonald's restaurant.
We walked an achingly long way today, under the hot sun, with no end in sight, which Wren has appropriately titled, the "death march". Thankfully, we had a cool dip waiting for us.... along with a bunch of even cooler pics.

 And me, trying to be a mermaid, made for a surprisingly nice shot!
After a brief day on the cruise ship, we were in Muscat Oman, home of "death march" number two!
We walked through the souq (an expansive open air market place).
Then started our march to find the Al Alam Palace.
There were cool structures along the way, like this bridge structure, and vast hallway.
 
We couldn't enter the palace, but this was the entrance gate, with much beyond.


The water breaks are also where birds take breaks, and these goats were a colorful part of art museum.

So many things to see on a death march!
