Today was a non teaching day as most schools were celebrating National Day (the holiday itself is next week, combined with Liberation Day which is the next day). There were many activities at school and parents were invited for the day. There was music, traditional dances, a lot of people wearing the traditional Kuwaiti costumes (abayas and dishdashas); it was really cool. There was also a lot of food.. It also represented our last day at school for the month of February, as we are off next week and therefore do not go back until March 2nd.
We are travelling to Sri Lanka for our week off. We will be in a resort about two hours south of Colombo (the capital of the country). We checked the weather forecast today and their daytime highs are in the low 30's, with humidex in the low 40's, while the daily lows are in the mid 20's. It should be nice - hot enough to make you thirsty! We are really looking forward to it, we both need a break and a little R n R.
