Hello everybody! These are pictures from the Schlumberger Year End Party (a.k.a Christmas Party. It's a muslim country!). Anyway, we had a blast sand surfing, riding camels, and generally partying down. Enjoy!
MEA held it's year end party in December. A great time was had by all. Busses came to pick us up at the Trade Center and carted us off to a secluded desert area near Al Awir. There we were met by 4x4's and we roared off over the dunes to our desert encampment......

Joe Schulz shows that the 'more experienced' guys can sand board. He even adds a little bit of style to the trip! |
