It's hot. Like, really hot. Every single day. But at least it's not humid? Instead, it's like being in an oven. August is supposed to be the worst, so hopefully it will start cooling off sometime soon.

When shopping for a pool float, I came across all sorts of sharpied up women on boxes. This was hilarious to me.

My favorite kind of salad is definitely French fries.
 |
| Can I eat all of the salad, please? |
Dates come from trees. Who knew?
 |
| This date palm is right outside my villa. The only rain we get are the falling dates. |
There are no postal addresses for anything here. If you look up a
restaurant, you'll find the street it's on and a general location, so
we usually just end up driving down the street looking for it (with
occasional success). That was how we found the restaurant we ate at
last night,
Quick Bites, which was delicious!
When it's prayer time, everything gets shut down. While eating last night, the employees turned off most of the lights, locked the doors, and all of them went in the back to pray. It was just Brian and I in a completely empty restaurant... kinda cool!

We can find most everything we need here, except for pork and alcohol, both of which are illegal. Don't worry, there are alternatives!

Pork bacon is far superior to turkey bacon
