They gave us breakfast at the hotel. Orange drink with real orange pieces in it, omelet (more like an egg crepe, folded over), toast, jam, tea, and instant coffee crystals. It was fine. The lunch at the Haffa Hotel, though, was excellent. A huge buffet of everything! Mutton and rice, fried hammur (which is supposed to be grouper, but tasted better than any I've had in the states), a huge bank of salads (excellent tabouli, cucumber salad), hummus, huge fruit spread, etc. It was really really good. Since this is the hotel brand we're staying at in Salalah, I'm pretty excited.
A few things to note:
We had several guests today at our orientation. The Embassy security officer said that Oman is probably the safest place in the Middle East. I'm thinking there must be something in the water. Everyone is really nice and polite. Apparently they maintain that calm, even after traffic accidents. It's very soothing. I think that's it for now. Got to go back to orientation. At least now I have Internet access though!
