Fouad in Riyadh

I was in Jeddah when Fouad was released, but unfortunately I could not meet him then because I had to leave the next day. Last night he paid a visit to Riyadh, and fellow blogger Sami Omar hosted a dinner in his honor in Shurfa Restaurant. We were also joined by Jihad, Herbaz, Medical Practitioner and Mohammed al-Saleh. Needless to say, we had a great time. It was really good to see him after this long time and I hope we will have a chance to get together again soon inshallah. There is only so much you can say in five hours :-)

    Ahmad,
    It was really great meeting you. I couldn’t thank you enough for what you and the rest of bloggers did. All the words were not good enough to explain my feelings.

    You should mention that we had a very heavy dinner. That might explains this bad pic of me :)

    Good to read you had a nice evening. Good to read Fouad is well, (and certainly looks stuffed)!
    The restaurant looks amazing.

    I’m glad he was released. I try to visit blogs by Arab bloggers lately, and I see posts about jailed bloggers too often :(
