Ted Siebert from The Sand Sculpture Company in the Chicago area invited us to join him to do a sand sculpture in Muscat, Oman, in the middle east. The trip was great. We stayed ocean side at the Shangi-La Barr Al Jissar Resort that was comprised of a  4, 5 and 6 star hotel. The event was a one night kick-off party for an egyptian developer trying to sell multi million dollar condos pre construction. The sculpture was of the condo front facade.
