2nd to Last Day :)

So here's some pics from our 2nd to last day.... we went to the boarder of the country and got to look at the neighboring country. It was really cool and the water was beautiful! Here's a goofy pic of us...
Here's our friends that we stayed / hung out with :)
We went to this cool old house. It's really old. It was amazing how they did things in order to keep things cool (pre-AC & fans) :)
The pic below is a wind tower. These were used to cool the house. The wind would come in the tower....
You can see it in the pic below, but when the wind came in, it was forced down and through the house - it was amzing how cool it kept the house!
We found this weird little thing (below) and had no clue what it was for - but it was really funny!
This pic is of a really crazy looking shop...we're not sure what they sell, but it looks really cool...
We went to this really old fort. As we were walking around, we saw these bees (?) inside a hole.... they look really different... not sure if they're hornets, bees, wasps, or what.... but they were pretty crazy!
We went to a pottery place. This country is famous for their pottery. This man below was showing us how it was made... it was cool.
One last random pic.... This is from the fort... I thought it was cool looking :)

That picture of Adam is hilarious - it needs to be a profile picture on facebook or myspace! I love the old house pictures, and your description of it. It really is amazing how they knew to keep things cool back then.

I like how there's a random white kid doing pottery in the middle east. or was he with you?

Those bees kind of freak me out. I'm going to try to forget I saw that picture. :)

Campa Cola & Exploring :)

Today we had some things to do in the Central part of our city, so while we were there, we decided to take on some adventures :) Adventure #1 - the underground market. This market is pretty crazy. It's actually underground and has electronics & clothes mostly. They sell things pretty cheap, so it's an interesting place to go. Today we got an 64 Gig flash drive/pen drive for about $5. Crazy hunh? Here's Adam and Aashini in one of the stores. They're all REALLY small stores - about 10x10 feet I would guess (but I'm really bad at guessing that sort of stuff :)) We go here a lot to get things, so I guess it's not a new adventure, but an adventure nonetheless. Before the next part of our adventure (the real part of our adventure) we stopped for lunch. Aashini will always eat at McDonalds, so that's where we went :) They just started selling chicken nuggets here at McDonalds, so it's super easy to get her to eat there :) This McDonald's had high chair

Starbucks!

 Starbucks opened in our city last night!!  I'm not a huge coffee drinker... but I was excited about the opening!!  (I think I like Starbucks because of all the green! haha!... Aashini and Diya think the mermaid on the logo looks like me... haha! Maybe it's the weird wavy hair :)... not sure :) ) Anyway, we got there and the line was SUPER long!  The wait time was about 45 minutes!!!  There were so many people there!!!  I tried to get a pic of all the people... (that's why this picture is at an annoying angle... I was trying to get it all in in between the columns :))    Here's Aashini doing a jumping picture!!  The girls tried to do a jumping picture :) haha!  haha!  They had a few spills along the way :)  I never got them both jumping :)  Stuff for sale....  OK, one more because I think they are cute :) haha!  People waiting in line :) Some friends that made it inside! :)  We decided not to wait in line... So we'll

Funny Things - Age Appropriate?
