May 19, 2012


Time going by so fast, Linda will be here in 9 days. Went to the Al Shati Beach again tonight, the water is so incredibly warm.  Stopped in for Indian food on the way home from school, the butter chicken was so great served with Chapati bread.  Last night after swimming we stopped for sharwmas (my spelling). They are a wrap made of a thin circular flat bread, with meat, vegetable, potatoes and sauce. They are so very good.  I fill my car up for about 3.8 Rials ($9.00) and drive it for 2 weeks.  My Proton Gen X has proven to a nice little car after all. It costs me 160 Rials a month., but you just can’t have a comfortable life here without a car. We are on the out skirts of town and there is no transit or bus system.
The weather is getting more humid, which makes it seem hotter. Today was about 38 but it was humid so it felt a lot hotter. Classrooms are very comfortable with the AC cranked to 16-18. Planning a weekend trip this weekend, we will go about 6 hours down the coast to the South.
