Fall weather and Shopping

It is starting to feel like fall here -- much drier and breezy.   Our weekend trips to the pool have to happen in midday when the sun is out; before we had to go in the morning or afternoon to avoid the bright sun.  Today my outdoor lunch duty was pleasant rather than scorching -- it did only get to 94 degrees today :)

I took some more photos of our daily life here in Al Khobar.


Saco World is a big, brand new hardware store.  Saco stands for "Saudi Arabian Company". Jack likes to try out the massaging chairs they have on display.

The delicious akawi cheese pie I like to order at the brick oven at the grocery store.  They make it while I shop and then we eat it on the way home.

The whipping cream I just bought for banana pudding (thanks dad for the banana pudding mix!)

Long-life milk is very common here, and most of our dairy products are locally produced.

And this is our house...actually we drive by this everyday on the way to work and I fondly think of the Pleasure Cruiser...and wonder how did an RV get to Saudi Arabia?!
