As to be expected, things have settled into a nice pace here in Jeddah. There are many new people coming in and the compound seems a bit more active than it has over the last couple of months. I am coming up on 90 days here and I have to say things are not so bad. We get around the city OK, we know when and where to go, and just as importantly, when and where NOT to go. We are making some new friends, but by and large we keep to ourselves. Big shocker to anyone who knows us, eh?
Work is work. We have our third guy in the shop now and he is going to fit in nicely. We have enough work to stay busy, we have a few laughs, and then we are done. Easy peasy.
Les is subbing at the International School off and on and seems to enjoy working with the learning disabled kids the most. She does get to sub in other grades and thinks working at the school here is better than in the States. So that too is good.
We are doing some early trip planning. I have some training in the States in August which coincides with a lockout here, so that is all good. Looking at just about three weeks in the States in August. Awesome.
Then we are planning a Euro trip in October. No hockey tourney this year. Not enough dudes to commit and the tourney filled up. So, Les and I will likely fly to Europe and do some train travel for a while. Looking at three weeks in October. Should be fun.
Not much else to report. Life has its pace here as it does anywhere else. Good days, bad days, slow days, fast days... you get the idea.
Experienced my first, almost cloudy day today since I got here. Amazing.
Starting to get muggy and I am told it gets far worse than this. I have been told low 100s with %90 humidity are common. No big deal. Bring it on. I have AC. ;-)
More from the desert later.
Life is good.
