bronwynrhWow. Blast from my past.
More like a little breeze, like a breath that brushes past your ear and puts you in mind of . . . everyone and everything that comprised the days and years of your childhood.

stylophonepet. She IM'd me this afternoon out of the blue and told me she found me by the reference to Ras Tanura in my LJ profile. She's an ARAMCO brat! She's still living there!
We had a lovely chat, she sent me to a page dedicated to Ras Tanura where I found loads and loads of pictures of the town where I grew up and the people who lived there. I saw faces of people I knew! So strange. Maria and I never met, but we know many people in common.
Small freakin' world, people. Tiny, in fact.
Mom, Dad. . . have a look at the pictures and reminisce.
Everyone else, go have a look at the photo gallery and get a taste of the place that I called home from the age of 5 to 20.
Wow.
Maria just commented and sent another page. . . this one's great, too. --> Aramcons and Aramcon hangouts galore. For those of you not in the know, I recommend the photo galleries of Khobar, Ras Tanura 2002 and Bahrain. These are the places where I spent most of my time :-)

That website is a goldmine!! Cam Ellis' RTWG farewell luncheon? Stomach-turning and amusing at the same time.
Pictures of Eve Jeweler's where I got the gold I still wear and then Al-Shula going up in smoke? Both priceless!
And the recent pictures of Ras Tanura are fantastic!
Bless you Bless you Bless you!
(Coming from me, that's saying something!)

My mama's in those pics for Mrs. Ellis' farwell :)
Were you here to see the Al-rashid?
Ya know, the mall of choice now that Shula is a buncha rumble?
Its the greatest mall in the world!
