The back side of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, which I was told will be reopened in four months. I can’t wait to see the restoration.

This is the last of the pictures from that dreary weather day. I enjoyed this return visit to Diriyah and really like the town, but I think it looks far better under a bright sun and blue skies. It’s quite rare here to have a day as overcast as that one, but with winter fast approaching we’ve had some rain, and the temperatures have dropped radically, averaging maybe 70 degrees F during the day and below 60 at night. One night is forecast next week for 46 degrees, which sounds delightful to me!
