Jim says I don’t have to be clever every time I post, so that’s a relief. Because if I had to … the pressure would be unbearable.
So, without pressure I will run through our Sunday.
- We attended a lovely meeting of very nice people this morning, and sang songs.
- Afterwards, we talked with them for a while in English.
- Next, we walked the mall and waited for the coffee shop to open.
- It didn’t open for a while, so we wandered around and ran into fellow student, Hannah, who is here by herself for six weeks.
- We drank cappuccinos and sat. This is the ceiling of the mall:
7. We moseyed upstairs to one of the three restaurants open in these parts, and waited with some of the nice people we had met earlier for it to open.
8. After eating, we questioned the nice people regarding the impending time change and how we will know when this will happen. They reassured us not to worry — whenever the change occurs (tonight? next Saturday? Rumors abound) our phones will figure it out. Perfect.
9. We shopped for picnic food.
10. We studied.
11. We walked in the garden. Hoping to see the great, big, long-necked birds that circle around in the mornings so we could take their picture, we sat and watched for a half hour. No birds.
12. We came back to our room and had a last-night-of-Ramadan picnic for dinner.
13. We checked CNN. We get a different picture of the world from here; lots of UK politics, ads for vacations in Abu Dhabi, Indonesia, South Africa.
14. Lastly, here’s the pic I tried to load last night (finicky internet). Class is across this street and a 2 minute walk from right to left.
Yay for lovely meetings, nice people and coffee!
I sprained my foot and am on crutches. Is there ever a good time for injuries?! We skipped rest home as I am so sore from thus mentioned crutches.
I am picking up my groceries in the Click-It car spaces tomorrow. It was kind of fun ordering online.
I like your pictures!
