DAY FIVE: 25 March, Bahrain

Awoke at 4AM from the morning prayer call. Goodness...that is early to be expected to be up praying. Wow! Couldn't fall right back to sleep until 5:15AM.
Slept til 12PM.
Ate leftovers, visited with Esku the live-in house-maid/nanny.
Picked up the kids from school.
Went by the Korean Bakery to buy European breads sold by Bahraini women. (Confusing!)
Went to CHAOSS (Children's Health Academy of Specialized Sports).
Saw Steven take his gymnastics class. (Open house week)
LOVE the accent of his South African instructor, James.

Went to Bahrain Fort. Had fun with the kids!
Took kids home to bed. Out for coffee with Nicole. Went to the local market to shop for spices. Lemon Salt - Hello? Where have you been all my life?

Took a late night request to get Ice Cream for a pregnant friend of Nicole's. Met Francois and Amber at their appartment and quickly became friends. Such great people. Interesting to hear a bit of their story and how they wound up moving from South Africa to Bahrain. Great people and hope to spend more time with them!Home to bed!
