A great way to spend time…

Friday, Feb.24/12

Thanks everyone for your comments. Michael has been working hard on that site and on his photographs and I am working hard on drawing and designs and loving every moment. It’s a great way to spend our time when protests cause long ‘tailbacks’ (traffic jams) here. We only like to go out in the early morning hours when we can be guaranteed peace and quiet. Yesterday we went for a walk in Arad Park (beautiful park here with a walkway around a small bay). We walked for 40 minutes and then spent an hour in traffic trying to get home. Even passed by a village where the riot police were out in force. No tear gas, thankfully. Bahrain has really changed. Walking in the park, we took pictures of flamingoes – the lighting was spectacular but we were pretty focused and didn’t notice the guard approaching until he said “NO Cameras”. That’s all the english he could manage. Of course, we continued to snap.
