Here are a few views of our current home taken by my Battle Buddy.

Starbucks Update--56th Birthday in Kuwait
STARBUCKS IN KUWAIT. THE SAND-FILLED BARRIER IS TO THE LEFT.
Today I traded my $99 bike for a Venti Carmel Macchiatto at Starbucks. One of the baristas here asked me about buying it. I felt strange selling the bike, but I could trade it for a latte. So I got a 2-week bike rental for $99 and a free latte!!
Tomorrow I will celebrate my 56th birthday in Kuwait. I was thinking I would celebrate my natal day in Iraq, but Kuwait is close.
