Last week we went to one of the bases to get our installation access badges. We left at 0300 and drove for "a while". When we got there, big surprise, we had to wait. Got our install badges and we went home. We were all pretty pooped.
The pictures are taken from our van on the way back from the base. As you can see, there is literally nothing for miles upon miles. Sand, dirt, dead camels, dead sheep, and Bedouins. That's about it.
Drove up to Kuwait Towers last week. They are telecom and water storage towers on the northern coast of Kuwait. Kind of nice to break up the monotony, but all of us were more interested in looking at the water park and paintball field at the base of the towers than looking at Kuwait City. Nice to go do something other than sit in our rooms or go to the mall shopping.
One more picture. I took this the other day, and I meant to post it then, but I forgot. It is a bunch of kids playing cricket in the dirt field about 500 metres from our apartment building. Next time they are out there playing, I'm going down there and learning how to play cricket.
