Anniversary in the Middle East

Rick and I had a wonderful dinner at the Sheraton Hotel last week for our 24th anniversary. It was an amazing buffet dinner and we went home very full. The hotel has a traditional Arabic tent so we had our picture taken there.

We have a Lebanese family staying in one of our apartments for a couple of months until things settle down. The dad and one of the daughter is working for us. Today we had lunch with the mom and she is going to give Debbie and I some cooking lessons. There are so many vegetables in the grocery store that we don't recognize but are probably really good. Now we can get some instruction and try some new dishes. Looking forward to it.

I think today was one of the most humid days so far. We are looking forward to September and cooler weather - should get back down to the 30's!
