This weekend has been as hectic as the week. We went out a bit on Friday as the cleaning lady was cleaning up our place; we walked on the beach and went for lunch, then came back and worked all day (at least, I did). Saturday was pretty much the same story, except that we went grocery shopping and saw some Christmas decorations, cards, wrapping paper, ... that you could buy; we even saw a real Christmas tree - for a hefty price of about $ 125 CAD, but hey, if you want one, you can get one! We went out for dinner as we had to fulfill our need for red wine.; we still don't have our liquor licence and we would rather have our friends buy white wine as we are more picky on red than white. So sometimes, we need red badly! We are told that we should have all the papers needed for the liquor licence by next Thursday - we are not counting days yet, but just about! But then again, being in the Middle East, it's one of those Isha'allah thing! The nice thing about this weekend coming to an end is that in less than two weeks, we'll be home. We are very much looking forward to it. We really love the experience that we are living, but we also miss the people that we left behind a lot. It will be nice to see everyone (or as many as we can) again. But after two weeks of cold, snow and windchill factors, we'll be OK with getting on a plane to come back to this winter weather of +20ish degree!
