Another Day

The last few days have been uneventful. On the way back from Dubai I took a exit off the highway and headed across the desert towards the coast. The road was two lane and the scenery was awesome! Sand dunes, desert, same stuff you only see in the movies. Sand was drifting like snow across the highway. the road took me to Al Hammra, a new development that will quite nice. It is almost done and there is another golf course there. Haven't played it yet but plan to.

Didn't do much Sunday, went to work, picked up a few things at the store and went back to the room watched a movie and went to bed.

Monday the temps went down dropped to 87 degrees so I decided to go golfing, hooked with a couple of friends and played. I played with Simon, the teaching pro here and Terry who just got back from Kabul. He had some interesting stories to tell. He said the cost to ride from the airport to the green zone in Kabul can cost $10,000! Security forces outnumber troops over there. My game is getting better. Three pars in a row.

It is quite different playing golf under the lights. The ball duesn't seem to travel as far. The greens are slower because the have a different type of grass. They use this grass because they irrigate with a mixture of saltwater and fresh and the grass is tolerant to this mixture. The course itself is very nice with a lot of traps and waste areas. The fairways are tight but fair.

Thank Allah Ramadan is over!
