Sicky Sicky

Here are some of the pictures I haven't put up yet!

GR Ford Int. Airport to say goodbye! And a big HELLO from the security guard who frisked me for about 20 minutes!


My school, TAISM! Pretty, isn't it?


The dark entrance on the left is the entrance to the souk. Fun times!


The Bucks! That's Jeff, Sara and I sipping a bit of cool coffee for the hot day! (they don't open until 10ish) Bernie and Laura, it felt odd to go there without you!




A quick update:



These past few days, I've had a bit of a head cold. Everyone has been diagnosing it as a "temperature change" cold, because my body isn't used to going from 34 C to 24 C so many times in a day, so I've been trying to just stay inside a little bit more lately. I am almost over it.





We played Ultimate with some of the TAISM people on Monday night! That was a lot of fun, but the grass is a bit itchier than in the states! After Ultimate we went to Automatic; which is a great restaurant! Yesterday was more work and meetings, and last night we went shopping again, the trips are getting shorter and I am buying much less which is nice. After shopping there, Jeff, Sara and I went down to "Car row" to look at some cars. I am liking the Kia Sportage! but I am still looking around, Ramadan deals are coming up! We also found this tiny restaurant and had a spicy feast, 4 drinks, and some little candies for 3 rials! (only about 7.50 for all three of us!)





Oh, also, this will make you guys a little jealous: I filled up my rental car the other day with about 10 gallons. It cost me about 4.5 rials, which is about 12 dollars!! 1.20 bucks a gallon isn't too bad. And, I think the government owns all the gas stations, or they control the prices; but anyway, all the gas stations have the same price of gas, so you don't have to search for the best price in town!

Ciao,

Zach

Zach - I'm really excited that I get to stalk you during these next two years. It'll be great to live vicariously through you, until I come visit!

Peace in the Middle East.
