News from the Jacobs family in Saudi Arabia
The Cub Scout pinewood derby is coming up soon so this last weekend we started work on Kai’s car. It was a foregone conclusion that we would be using a Star Wars motif. Though specific details of the paint job remain to be determined, the vehicle has already been dubbed “The Captain Rex”.
Last weekend we headed over to Bahrain to catch a show and shop for a few things it is difficult to find here. We hadn’t been in a while but we needed to activate our new visas at any rate and things seemed calm. Nora clearly listens to dinner conversations as she made us promise to turn around and come home if we “see any war.” In the event we didn’t see any war at all and you wouldn’t know there was recent unpleasantness if it weren’t for the armored battalion camped around the remnants of the pearl roundabout.
Waiting for the movie to start we hit a coffee shop across the mall where I snapped a few pictures with the iphone.
It is only mid-April but already summer is sending reminders that it is soon on its way. Daytime temps probably haven’t hit 100 quite yet but we had a humid day in the 90’s this weekend to remind us what is in store. There are probably a few more temperate days yet to be had and then six months of crushing wet heat.
