Pool Party

It really is quite the life here... I can't complain too much! We've got a pool and a gym and no bills or rent (mind you our apartment is a bit lame with its pink carpet and ancient furniture, still, don't look a free apartment in the mouth right?) The pool has given us many a relaxing afternoon under the desert sun... That is when it isn't full of sand from the latest sand storm!

Packing

I know there are still 10 days left... but I'm already packed! Of course I still have heaps of paperwork left to do - it turns out it's a more complicated process to leave Saudi than it was to come here! But my flight is booked so mafe mushkila ("no problem" in Arabic, we hear it all the time!)

10 days to go!

RUH

Friday night, flying back from Jeddah and I realized this will be the last time I land at the King Khalid International Airport... cue soft weeping! Just kidding! In no way will I miss the Riyadh Airport!

Just 11 days to go!

Saudi Flag

Showing some Saudi pride.

Jeddah!

Last weekend off in Saudi so I headed to Jeddah to get a feel for Saudi by the sea. More details to come...

Emergency

The Emergency room sign on the wall outside the front entrance... to think in just two weeks' time I won't be seeing it anymore! And as an aside, this is my last night shift for what could be a very long time - alhamdullailah!

Just 14 days to go!

Crochet

Roommate Amy is good with the hooks! She has spent hours slaving over this lovely baby blanket for a friend of ours.

Only 15 days to go!
