This is our apartment building. We live on the 9th floor. The building is all concrete inside with marble floors and ceramic floors in the bathroom and kitchen. Its a nice size apartment and the best thing is that its not shared with anyone else!
There is a grocery right outside the front door. There are actually 3 on our block. they carry a little bit of everything. Nice to get groceries, etc. without driving anywhere.



This is the view from our patio doors. There are no paved roads, just sand. Lots of potholes so cars have to go slow.


This mosque is directly below our patio doors. It's speakers provide us with a very early wake up call.




Here are some before and after pics of out living room. We made some curtains and bought some plants. It really brightened the place up!

More Kites...and video!

This is a good view of the kites over the parking lot. Look at the size of
those kites!

This Kite looked so pretty against the blue sky

Kites at the Beach

We went to the beach with a picnic lunch. Gene remembered that we sometimes see one or two big kites flying by the exit for 6th ring road.

We decided to take our picnic there. Boy did we get a big surprise!!

There were at least a couple dozen HUGE kites and they were so amazing to look at.
