Before Eid.\


So, now that we have a car, it's like life opened up! We no longer have to wait to go get groceries or go to a movie...though, the driving here is dangerous and you never know what's going to happen. So, defensive driving is the only way to go, and we haven't yet tried getting to a movie, but we may this week...as we have the whole thing off.Alicia and I had a dinner party yesterday, which turned into a sort of birthday party for myself, and for Steve Stahl (who shares my birthday) and his wife Caitlin, whose birthday is on the 22nd...all so close! And all three of us are the youngest ones here, and we've all been through schooling at SCA. How improbable. But it's nice to be around familiar people, and the stir fry was fantastic...and Erin, who is a native of Westlock AB, made a chocolate cake from scratch, with scratch icing, which was maybe the best thing around.Most of you should have my cell phone number now. It's country code 971, area code 050 and the number 1767597, so text me when you miss me!For this week, since we have a 5 day Eid (Eeed break), and we celebrate the end of Ramadan, FINALLY, we are just playing it chill. We may go into Dubai to some waterslides tomorrow if we can find the way, and we plan to watch movies on the tv...being that no satillite has been set up yet for us. Otherwise, just playing it chill.Nothing else though is new. Teaching, hanging out, building relationships, hearing funny stories, and living life. I hope the same for you, and I hope al is well.With lots of love, this instalment of talia's life is over.Peace.
Cheers.So, this is just a glance at my home. I quite like it. I hope you do to. When the internet works a little better, I think I'll add in the ones from Crystal Hotel, and I may make a movie of the city too!
