I tried uploading pictures but little red Xs in small boxes appeared instead. So, I'm forced to stick to words.

Last Friday I touched the beach water for the first time. I don't know what to call it since the entire beach is man-made but the water felt nice, we got to see a couple of stars and look out into the dark sea and the blue Ritz Carlton behind us.

Still have not been bored; could be due to the food (or maybe the people :) I bought different types of breads this morning that should last about a week from the bakery down stairs. I tried tika take out for dinner: the meat was wrapped in naan (i think it was naan) thrown into a brown paper bag along with onions, lemon, and more naan. It was delicious, a perfect meal. Another perfect meal, actually a HIGHLIGHT of my weekend, eating mendi which is typical saudi food: chicken cooked over rice and served with a tomato sauce. You sit on a carpeted floor and eat out of one big plate filled with rice under chicken with your right hand. It was the best meal I've had so far. And the place was really casual and not meant for tourists.

Too tired to be creative with my words. Good night.
