Day 3: Welcome Dinner


As expected, Saudi Aramco put on quite a show for the Welcome Dinner.  It was held at the Sunset Beach Resort in the Al Aziziyah Beach Area.  We were welcomed with steaming cups of kawa and a traditional Arab band.  The dinner tables were set on a carpeted beach by the fountain area and water park, so we had a beautiful backdrop.  Saudi Aramco President and CEO, Khalid Al-Falih, gave a nice speech welcoming all of the returning “family”and thanking Ali Baluchi and his committee for making the reunion trip a reality.  The food and company was excellent.  Quite an impressive outdoor affair!
