A blog about what daily life was really like in the Middle East and the daily ramblings of an ex-pat mum. That's how I started the blog. We are now home, so I'm just going to continue with life here. I am a deeply committed Christian. I love to teach about and share my faith so you'll see some of that on the blog as well. Got a comment? Please feel to comment at the end of a post. May our Creator's peace be upon you.

Oooo! Look at the fishies!







Oh yeah. We had a good morning! Check it out! The husband woke me up WAY too early this morning to tell me, "Hey! No wind! The water is BEAUTIFUL!" Well, it took about half an hour to haul myself up, but once I saw that water, I knew I had to jump in!
The 'current' has shifted. It's now pulling/pushing in the opposite direction and is running much cooler. Those of you coming to visit in March, if you wish to swim/snorkel, you may want to consider an inexpensive wetsuit. I was actually shivering after being in for about 30-45 minutes (not the norm for me). Well, the fact that I only had one cup of coffee in me may have been part of it as well. We didn't see any rays this morning, but there were LOADS of fish right up at the beach. It's not a coral reef, but we still have fun.

The husband and I were both bemoaning that we don't have an aquarium any more. We have a PERFECT place for one, but we don't know who'd come in to feed/maintain while we are out roaming the planet. Oh for a BIG tank and a BIG cast net!

The husband just went out to try and get a Blackberry. In some places on the globe, he gets good internet access but no cell phone access. Other places, he gets cell phone but no internet. Hopefully, the Blackberry will HELP in a few places. It's crazy. In some countries, he can call out and text out, but I can't call him. Yet, I can get text through. Makes NO sense to me. Anyhow, hopefully, with the Blackberry his customers/coworkers etc will be able to stay in better touch with him. And, won't bother me if I can reach him better for that matter. Coming out of our home country, we really took communication services for granted. We don't any more! The husband's home country mobile number has REALLY helped him more than a few times - especially in Northern Europe. At times, that home country mobile phone feels like a little portable life-line.
Ok, now I really need to upload and email Norway snaps. Peace.
