desert

well we went to the desert. with an experienced couple who have lived in the middle east for about 15 yrs. i didnt exactly know what to expect when they said "oh we will go to the desert" i thought sand. drive around a little. who knows. well when they showed up to our house pulling a four wheeler, i knew i was in for something. and it was something. we were working on the house and waiting for katie and glo to get back to the house, so we didn't even leave the house til after dark. we drove just about 15 minutes outside of town to "the desert" aka the side of the road in the sand. where we built a fire, ate foil dinners, and of course road the 4wheeler. i was hazed. forced into the unknown. part of the orientation i was told. oh the old peer pressure. then we went with the captain in his four wheel drive sport utility vehicle and went on a ride through the dunes. in the car. dodging camels and large bushes. they are now calling me screaming sally because of the loud voices that exited my mouth during the hazing. anyway. it was fun. no pictures sorry it was dark. i am sure we will go again. ron and kim are great. they work with gloria and dave, and have been really supportive during the move and transition.
we have no internet at the villa thus far. maybe next week.
