So nice to be on holidays. We slept in, had lunch in our room (so we could have wine with our meal) then took the subway to go meet a friend to go on our desert safari at 3 pm. It wasn't really a safari in the way we normally understand it, but more of a wild drive in the desert. The desert is really cool to see; there is sand everywhere you look. We took a joy ride on and between sand dunes with a Toyota Land Rover. It was a lot of fun. We then went to a camp where we rode camels and had a barbecue dinner. The dinner was good, but the belly dancers show was cancelled because of the religious holiday (today is the Hajj celebration, which is something very big for Muslims). We got back to our hotel around 9 pm, skyped with our three kids and called it a day, a very nice day.
We're obviously thinking of everyone home on this holiday weekend, especially when Vince was telling us that aunt Jackie will have ham, pork tenderloin and wine for dinner, all things that we cannot have in Kuwait. We miss all of you, but the adventure is worth it (any of you ride a camel lately?)
