My final observations
... patches at the compounds where the expats live. Sri Lankan men sweep the sand from the pathways with palm tree leaves and water the gardens in the balmy heat of the evening. The poor guard sits on a stool outside his sentry box lifting the boom gate as the cars come in and out of the compound, saluting as the cars whisk by. No doubt he is waiting for the day when his brick built sentry box will be constructed, not long to go now. Sparrows are everywhere and its a real oasis. ...

MISS AND LOVE YOU ALL!

Bahrain Day #3 -- Touring the Island
... have to find a way to get a Saudi visa so I can actually step into the country and check it off my list! (Saudi visas are heard to get if you don’t have business in the country – I’ve read the nation only grants tourist visas to Americans participating in an organized tour group).
Amazingly both sides of the border island included a McDonalds restaurant. I was dumbfounded by this. So the first thing you spy when crossing from Bahrain ...
