I love this picture. It's the only one I've really taken since we arrived almost 2 weeks ago here in Kuwait City, Kuwait. I'm still having a hard time accepting the fact that we are living in the Middle East, bordering Iraq. It almost feels like a dream that we are stationed overseas again.
When I am in our new home, which I'll post more about later, I tend to forget about the world that is going on outside around me. The fact that it is Ramadan and all the restaurants are closed until they break the fast around 6:30pm; that it's illegal to even be seen drinking water in public for an entire month; that 120 degrees feels cooler here than 103 because of the humidity with the lower temperatures; that the Muslim women walk around covered from head to toe - some dressed western with only a scarf around their head, and some covered in gloves and faces covered with only their eyes showing; that there are remains everywhere from the war that was fought just a few years ago. Yep. It's a whole new world to our family of 5.
So, here's to our adventures in Kuwait. I suspect it will have some things in common with my European blog and some things will be quite different. One thing will be certain though, it's another huge adventure for our family and I hope you will follow along.
