Happy Birthday to my friend Gretchen.... sorry I am not home to celebrate!!!!

 

I have been very busy with dance classes and lots of shopping and trying to find Easter decor.  We are making do with what we have to work with and it will be festive on the compound!!!!

 

Today we went downtown and covered a lot of ground... ended up waiting an extra 45 minutes for our bus and come to find out another bus/driver finally picked up and we found out poor Ali was in an accident.  Saudi drivers are kind of dangerous... there are no laws to abide by in there driving habits.

 

Then I finally went to Saad Hospital to register in case of emergency I could be treated and it was kind of like a comedy act.  I went to the registration desk and told the guy receptionist I needed to register and he asked "if I had an appointment".... I replied "NO".... he said in the heavy accent (which I can hardly understand) "you need to register when you see doctor.... what kind of doctor do you need to see?"... I replied - "eventually I will call"... and "he said for what kind of doctor?".... so I just blurted the first thing I  could think of and said "dermatologist".... "he said you need to make appointment let me call for you".... so it was 1:25 and he got me an appointment for 1:40.... "I asked today?".... he said "yes"....

 

My friend that I was really going with her for an appointment of hers and figured I would get this done asked.."what do you need a dermatologist for?" and trying to hold my composure without laughing... all I could say "I have skin condition".  So I saw the doctor and now I am registered!!!!

 

It was pretty funny though.

 

Tomorrow we are taking a field trip to Shahbay and will be in the desert having Arabic style lunch under the tent in the sand.  Will take lots of pics and update soon.

 

Well enough of my rambling....
