Busy weekend!!

First of all I want to appologize for bad spelling and grammar.  When I start typing I don't like going back and checking everything.

Thursday we had a company party with Alans work.  There were two american couples, thats Alan and I and his boss. Two French and One Blegium and then Several from India and Sir lanka.  Very interesting.  The People from Indian and Sir Lanka are the happiest and friendliest people.  They are so polite and make their children be polite.  The Indian woman migrated together and set and talked and ate and the men set together.  They didn't start off like that but by the time we ate they were all together.  Two of the Men never sat and they ate with their hands.  It was a very nice and intesting evening..

Friday is the Holy Day.  We had ask some people how do you get to Grace Fellowship church,  but they couldn't tell us.  They go their but it is very hard to give directions here.  It's  makes it difficult to get around here.  We will hopfully find it next week.  So we got up Friday and did some sight seeing along the bay.  We drove  alot just to learn where things were.  I drove Alan navigatied with the map. We would try and locate things we wanted to go to when it opened in the afternoon.  When we were driving we came upon a bunch of Muslim men praying in the  round about.  They just left there cars and got out and started praying.  We kept going around the round about so Alan could take a picture.  We were close to being out of gas and pulled into a station and couldn't get gas until the prayer time was over.  So we sat there for about 10 min.

We started shopping at 4:30pm when things opened.  When we were at the Villagio mall I had to go to the bathroom.  I went into the ladies room and it was all muslim women.  Right when I walked in, to the right was where the women go and pray  they all had their shoes off.

.  Straight ahead was the restroom.  In the stalles was just a hole in the ground in was like a toilet but flat to the ground.  You just stand over it and go!!!  I took one look at that and turned around and left..  I went to Alan and told him and he said I went into the wrong one .  That was for muslim women only!! HA Ha!  IT was wierd..

We got a bedroom suit from an American store that sold Ashley furniture.  We also bought a desk.  We have several things that are being delivered to the villa today.  They start at 11A.M. so as soon as they call I will be leaving.
