Started off the day by getting up at 5 instead of 6… set the
alarm wrong. We had a workshop at school till 10:30. It was a beautiful morning
and we are so close to the beach so I went for another swim. I left my clothing
and towel on the beach in a bag. I had a brilliant idea… put my keys in a
plastic bag and bury them in the sand under my bag with my clothes. That way
they would be safe if someone walked off with my bag. When I finished my swim I rushed in to find my
clothing wet by the tide, grabbed it and went to change in my clothes. Then…Oh,
Oh I forgot to dig up the keys. By now the waves had washed away any sign of
where I buried them and my foot prints when I picked up my clothes. Forgetting
any Onani modesty, I was frantically digging up the wave line, in my bathing
suit, trying to find my keys with visions of having to wait till Saturday to
get a new set of keys. Eventually I just gave up and hoped the waves would uncover
the bag, which they finally did. Whew!!
In Oman U turns are
the norm. They are allowed at many intersections and are fun. Later this
evening I went to the Corniche (road by the water) with one of the Australian teachers and we
planned where we would go during the break that is coming up in a week. I had lemon with mint juice which is so good,
I passed on cucumber and lemon, a combination I wasn’t too sure about.
An old tower I came across when driving
