Joe's School (ex-Travel) Diary

This blog is a mish-mash of experiences that I have had since its inception. Orignally, it allowed me to stay in communication while overseas summer 2006 with family and friends. Now it survives as just a pulse of what happening with me and since I am back in school full time now, there isn't as much travel. Still, read, laugh, share, comment, suggest and give me the link to your blog so I can check it out. Thanks For Reading, Joe Dumesnil

Friday is a Wednesday


Wednesday over here is Friday for the work week. We have some plans to check out Bahrain over the weekend. Euro Villiage is fairly mellow and we are discouraged from veturing out in Saudi too much. Meals are had there in their restaurant. There is a pool, stabels, tennis courts. There are armored vehicles guarding both the compound an the HAL facilty. It is amazing how many expat countries are represented here. At work and on the compound you run into Pakistanis, Phillipinos, Egyptians, Saudis, Indians, really quite a motley crew. Not much to report yet at the schedule is fairly rigid, to the office via bus with other HAL employees staying at the compound at 6:15 and must leave the office as it closes at 4:30ish for the day.

This is a photo of the manicured office in the desert. Note the flower laiden path to the armed guard shack on our perimeter.

I'll write again soon.

Joe

Hope you can find Bill W. on the compound. Try the local commisary. They might know where to find him.

Keep an eye on this Victor Lazlo fella. Make sure he does not get a hold of those letters of transit.
