DAY FOUR: 24 March, Bahrain

Wake up at 1PM - YIKES!!! (Hey, we're on vacation!)

So SLEEPY still! Lunch of Hummus and Cashmere Chicken

Went to Crown Plaza (formerly Holiday Inn) for an awesomely extravagant birthday party for the kids of some family friends. Thank God for the COFFEE!!! I was so out of it. But it was the beginning of the week of cultural experiences! East meets west...but kids are kids and it was a lot of fun!

Memories of staying in that smae hotel 17 years prior with the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders.

First time I ever painted my fingernails red. (Hey, it was a big statement for me as a 16 year old.)

Insane Scooby-Doo birthday cake from Lilou's

I learnes that the Brits call "cotton candy" "Candy Floss" - cute.

Moving Train

Great Food - Bahrainy kids eat chicken nuggets and hamburgers too. With hummus on the side!

Met a guy who's name is literally translated "Jesus the Christ".

After the party the kids went home.
We stopped by another mall (Bahrain has like 16 malls and are building like 32 more!) (BTW it'sa very small island - that's A LOT of shopping!)

Getting Steven's eye glasses fixed

Went to the Carpet shop.

GREAT EXPERIENCE!

The Carpet guy buys fruit juice, diet coke and tea for us - What hospitality!

Bought a great carpet for the living room. My one souvenier!

Stopped by a Tailor shop. Another weird cultural experience!

Went to New York Coffee!

Talk with my bro.

Call Kids...Carter was sad. :(

SO TIRED!

Tylenol PM and to Bed!
