I promised Catherine and Emily that if they came to Kuwait to see me that we would have great weather and it would not rain during their stay in August. No kidding, eh! Bring light clothing, lots of sunscreen and a broad-brimmed hat and you will be just fine. Well, here’s the proof that I am holding up my end of the bargain.

The heat does take a bit of getting used to but thankfully we have not had many high humidity days here this summer. I have actually been more uncomfortable in Ontario during July and August when there was high humidity. As long as the heat is dry it is actually not too bad–but I continue to be grateful every single day for the people who invented air conditioning.

Yesterday we took an excursion into the desert and visited a Bedouin camel farm about 45 minutes away from our hotel. It was quite an experience. One of the workers was kind enough to let us get close up to the camels in one of the pens. They are pretty docile and very curious as well. I think this guy was trying to decide whether or not Catherine’s hat would make a good mid-morning snack!
