Kuwait Towers

My parting shot of the Kuwait Towers
Me in the parking lot with the Kuwait Towers behind me
Michael in front of the Towers
The both of us. We make such a cute couple.
The Emir on the celebration of his 3rd year as the Emir.

Michael and I love to go riding around the city and we stop wherever the felling moves us 2. So we stopped at Kuwait Towers and took a few shots of us. My time in Kuwait is drawing to a close until the summer and I will miss being here. It has been a wonderful visit and I have met some wonderful people.
Love to my girls and Barb. Will see you soon.

Egaila, Kuwait a nice place to live

A mosque next to the KFC. Oh how nice it would be if we in America could have our churches within walking distance of everything in your life.

More fun for the day in Kuwait

Salwa Sabah Al-Hamad Theater and hall

The Hard Rock Cafe-Kuwait. It has a glass pyramid on the water side to make all seats have a water view. Really neat building.
A feral cat living among the rocks.

Some more random pics of Kuwait

A building on Arabian Gulf Rd. that looks like it took a hit from bombs or something. Do not know if it is war damage or just neglect. But since it is right near the water I would go for the war damage.
Some wonderful Graffiti inside of the house.
A bus that looks like it was set on fire or something. Who knows but there it sat in front of the beat up building.
Me and my Princess Diana moment. This was right on the water and I just could not resist.
A longer view of the water and building.

I am just posting some wonderful shots of around Kuwait. We go driving every week-end and it is so different each day. Depending on dust or no dust. No dust is the preferable for me as I hate the dust as it gets into everywhere and into everything.

Egaila a wonderful place to be

The Pyramid Mosque-a beautiful building and really neat architecture.
As seen on TV who would of thought they would have even that in Kuwait.
The biggest Burger King I have ever seen.
A home in Kuwait showing their colors on National/Liberation Day.
Al Hashemi II is listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the world's largest dhow. It is a replica of the 19th century trading vessels used to ply the Arabian Gulf and subcontinent sea routes.

Today is a few more of those random shots taken around Kuwait and Kuwait City. Michael lives in a neighborhood called Egaila. It is 4 blocks and he lives in Block 1. The addresses are nothing like at home it is just the neighborhood you live in with the, the block no., street number and then the house number if you have one. I here if you want to get mail you really need a P.O. box but we have never even seen a post office so I do not know how that works at all.
To my girls I wish you all my love and hope all is fine. Barb I hope you are fine and doing well. I love you all and miss you all.

Another Day in Paradise

A house down by the Beach in Messila
2 nice big Kuwaiti flags for National/Liberation Day
Men at work
Another finished UFO
My hubby has a new toy. He bought this for himself and it was a great deal. 32 inch flat screen with a free DVD for KD99.

My time here in Kuwait is flying by and there is still so much I want to do. Why is it when I am home I want to be here and when I am here I want to be home. I love being here with Michael and I would not trade a thing for this time. I believe it is the longest period of time that we have been on our own. Just the 2 of us. We will soon hit 31 years of marriage and who would have thought it would have lasted this long. I am posting some pics taken while I am here.
To everyone I love be safe and know I will be home soon.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Linky Lou is 13

Happy Birthday to my Baby. I am so sorry I am not there to wish you a very happy birthday. You are now a teen-ager and I am so excited about that. Opa and I wish you a wonderful day from across the world and hope that you got the card we sent and know that we will make up for missing your birthday when we get back. Love you and have a great day.
