Pardon the absence of posts, we're on "holiday" (doesn't that sound so darn British?!) and have been too busy frolicking about to write. In brief, here's what we've been up to:
**Nadine finally buys a camera and proceeds to take over 250 pictures in the past two days of people, places and events. Who says a pictures only worth a 1000 words?!
**Nadine commits the ultimate faux pas and compliments a Kuwaiti woman on her watch. In the true spirit of Muslim, woman takes watch off her hand and attempts to give it to Nadine.
The BFF explains to the somewhat offended woman that Nadine is truly a dumb Christian and didn't know what she was doing. (I've got a picture to prove it)
**David and Nadine spend a busy day on a rented yacht cruising in the Arabian Gulf with 9 other newbie friends. David and Nadine get stung by mini jellyfish and live to tell the story.
**Anna also spends a day cruising on the Arabian Gulf with friends. While the 'rents are in a rental, Anna's friend actually owns the yacht she rides around in. Nadine congradulates Anna for having stellar taste in friends (although we still love Gunar and Pelican Lake!)
**David and Nadine hang out with fellow Minnesotans and end telling the story of Fargo-the Movie to MathWoman from the Phillipines. Uffda
**David gets into a deep philisophical debate with MathWoman about Socialism and Capitalism while she shows him how to illegally download material off the internet.
**Nadine plays tourguide and takes 26 people on a bus to the AWARE center to celebrate Eid al Iftar. A great time is had to all. Nadine doesn't lose any of the 26 people.
**David tries to teach Nadine how to dash in front of cars on the streets of Kuwait. Her little legs almost don't make it across the street a couple times. I swear it's not guns or tanks or bombs that could potentially kill us in Kuwait, it's the cars! (Don't anyone put an evil eye curse on me).
**Tomorrow's adventure includes our first CANADIAN Thanksgiving celebration (it's a week early but what the hec eh?!) and the on-going drama of how Nadine tries to convinces David that if she starts the project of painting the apartment, she will indeed finish it (and not rely on him to as she has for the past 30 years!)
Please stay tuned...

Hello Browns! It took me until my fourth trip to Bombay to cross the street on my own, and I still prefer to have Gautam as my buffer. I'm so impressed that you're doing it already! Hope you are all healthy and happy and well.
