Quarantine Beach Dreaming

Sitting here in my house on Day 11 of our 14 day Self Quarantine and reminiscing about our warm beach and pool days in Oman and the UAE.
What a way to start the day!  A lecture from Michael Wilcox while sitting on the  beach in Salalah, Oman.
Only our  2 buses of tourists on this beach, also near Salalah.
Don't you LOVE palm trees?
This is an area in Oman that scholars think could well be the Land Boutiful mentioned in the Book of Mormon.  It has a river for a source of fresh water.  And a large protected bay which would have been perfect for building a boat.  Also up until recently, the area was covered by trees which would have been necessary for ship building.
Magnificent cliffs that come right down to the beach.
Bathtub temperature swimming pool in Abu Dhabi
Not my normal 'Beach feet' photo with that Mosque in the background!

We will survive until the end of April.  And we will go to beaches and pools again.  Of that I am confident!
