So its early Saturday evening and the end of my weekend...sad...went to fast. Today was an extremely lazy day. I didn't wake up until 3pm but was good to finally get some sleep and I actually feel a bit better today. I went up to the pool and layed out for awhile and ordered food (almost feels like vacation!). Once the sun was no more I decided to take a walk around my new neighborhood and see whats here. I walked down to the Corniche (where the water is) but couldn't find a good place to cross over the main road so didn't actually get to take pics of that but I'm sure there will be more time for that! I think thats going to be my new outdoor run route, once I get a running buddy. There is a mall here..but its crap. I was at the Abu Dhabi mall yesterday and it was phenomenal...this mall is more like a collection of randomness but they do have some American staples in the food court (Popeyes and McDonalds) and a CHILIS!!! For all my Crystal River friends, you know how exciting this was for me and I promise to treat you all when you come visit!
I found a little store (have yet to locate a real grocery store but will do some asking around this week) and was able to get some stuff for my place. Funny thing...a guy that remembered me from last night was there..he offered to buy me a red bull..or really anything in the store. Ha. Too funny. So I got milk, eggs, cheese, soda, red bull, water, laundry detergent, gatorade, etc and it was pretty cheap for everything considering that it was a tiny little place. I also couldn't tell you if they charged me correct or not....but since it was way cheaper than it would have been in the US, I didn't question.
Time for the gym and then gotta figure out how to use the washer/dryer in my room, that shoud be entertaining. Enjoy!
Okay...so I tried to upload pics and have been trying for 30 minutes..I'm not sure if the connection is too slow or what but I'm frustrated. Pics are on facebook for those of you on. If not...I'll try again later on here.
