WEAR YOUR SEAT BELT!

BUCKLE UP! IT'S THE LAW!!!!! You better do what the Arab ninja tells you!!!! This sign cracks me up, I love that they actually picture an Arab in a seat belt, but it looks more like a ninja then anything. Good stuff.

Sundae School

The Kuwaiti Towers are the main tourist attraction in Kuwait, it is their most well known monument. There is actually a restaurant in one of the balls and a viewing tower that rotates in another ball. As many of you know my family goes to Cape Cod every summer. It is tradition to go to a local hot spot called the Sundae School. The Sundae School will hang your picture up if you travel to exotic places wearing their t-shirt. So this is me in my Sundae School t-shirt in Kuwait. I think the photo of me wearing one of their shirts in Afghanistan is still up as well.

Ikea and Magic Planet

We went to the mall today. Ronny and I had some fun in Ikea with some hats. Ronny had never been to Ikea and I now opened his eyes to the wonderful world of Swedish furniture and design! Go Vikings! We then went to Magic Planet which is like a giant arcade amusement park in the mall for kids. Ronny and I went on a ride...we both got a little woozy on it. But it was fun. The malls in Kuwait put American malls to shame!!! We also went into this fancy food store in the mall called Dean & DeLuca's. It is soooo good, they have free samples everywhere and really exotic fruits and delicious cheeses. We bought some goat cheese and some other cheese and breads. I cant wait to eat it tomorrow!

Kuwait Aquarium

I went to the aquarium last week. Unfoortunately my batteries ran out halfway through. The auquarium was actually pretty darn good. The shark exhibit was outstanding and they even had a sea turtle. Here are some pictures of me and my new partner Ronny. And the penguins are part of the new display. Also, they had a desert exhibit. The cat was super cool becasue the hair on his ears made it look like horns! I tried to get a good photo but the picture does not do it justice.

Baby Camel

This was the baby camel and his mama. HOW CUTE!!!! Also is the Daddy camel. My friend told me I could take the baby camel home with me. I would have LOVED to, I would have ridden him to work everyday!

Riding the Camel

This is Morose. He was the camel we got to ride. Also this is Ed and Eli. Ed is our linguist. The camel's feet were roped together so he would not run off while we were riding him. He is ten years old and his Mother was away that day. The owners were worried he would try to run away while we were on him. When the camel stand up and lays down it is very jerky...obviously. But it was a very fun experience all together.

Photo Op!

Ok, so I was a little nervouse being so close, they are really big and drool a lot and growl at you! I swear it wanted to chew on my hair!
