The definition of a desert oasis: An oasis is lush green area in the midst of a desert, centered around a natural spring or a well. In many cases, the oasis will be the only place where trees such as date palms grow for miles around.
As we drove the endless dry road into the desert, an oasis appeared just over the hilltop. Katie and Kathy believed that they were hallucinating but were convinced to exit the vehicle and began walking toward the beautiful sight.
Much to our delight, the oasis was called Desert Paradise and it was the type of liquor store that can only be found here...in the middle of nowhere.
After stocking up, we headed further into the desert in search of our next mode of transportation.
(A special hello to Zach Mead. We hope you enjoy these pics.).

Fun in the dunes.
Some local villagers encouraged Kathy and Katie to put their dancing shoes on.
After working up an appetite dancing, we were all delighted to see the local beer and soda man walk up the dune. Reminiscent of hot days at the jersey shore when the ice cream guy would arrive. Well sorta...
The evening ended with dinner by the fire and some traditional dancing.
A truly memorable day.
Peace Out.
