Weekend 2 of 27

dinner in the dining facility... watching that awesome World Cup game against Algeria where we scored in pretty much the last minute... this place erupted. It was pretty awesome. These are some guys from work, wlthough the two on the right have both gone home since this picture.

the view of the palace from the main road. the large t-walls on the right of the picture surround the gym. Every building (except the palace and the building around the lake) are surrounded by t-walls.

my very first package arrived on my 2nd or 3rd day here... from my dear mother-in-law.

first really dusty day. now, there is haze and then there is dust. we havent had a full on sand storm yet, but it'll come one day. the wire surrounds the wall of the palace fo you can't get it the water.

this is what the palace and the lake around look like first thing in the morning. the sand hasnt been kicked up yet, the sky is still blue and the sky reflects off the water, and with the palm trees, it almost looks like paradise... almost.
