Yes, we are reallly looking forward to coming home for a bit. It won't be long (8 days) but it will be more then welcomed! It will be nice to see our kids, our families, our friends, hopefully some rain, and temperatures below 40 degrees! We know where we are at on the planet, but even the locals are saying that it is warmer than usual. Next week and for the rest of June, the kids finish at noon. We have to stay in school until three, but with no students, it allows us to do a whole lot of work! We also start exams as of the 7th of June, so that makes it a bit easier too (even though we won't be there!!).
This past week has been OK. I attended our grade 12 graduation on Sunday night; it was a very nice evening, with graduation ceremony and full meal that followed in a top notch hotel in Muscat. The rest of the week was fine. I didn't have hydro in my office for 3 days - it got a little steamy as temperatures were between 40 - 43 degrees Celcius - but other than that, things were fine. On Wednesday night, we went out to an Irish Restaurant (that is what the sign says outside of the building), but as soon as you get in, it transforms into an Irish Pub!! It was great; the food was really good, the beer was fine, and the table next to us just had a person coming in with a guitar, another one with a violin, a third one with another guitar and mandolin, and a fourth one with some kind of portable drum. Next thing you knew, you had a band jamming. It was great!!
