Days 7,8,9

These past three days Tony has been off work so we've been able to get out a bit more and do some fun stuff, here it is:

Day 7:
We went wakeboarding!!! Dom and I went out with Tony and his buddies and rented a boat and jet ski's. The water is VERY salty here, we found that out reeeal quick. After many attempts at "getting up" on the wakeboard my parched gob hole tasted as though I had eaten a certain cultural restaurant full of sodium-injected tortilla chips, but in good news, we all eventually got up wakeboarding! This couldnt have been a more perfect day weather-wise to be out on the wake. After soaking up much sunshine we returned to the flat and replenished our raisined body's with electrolytes and water. That evening Dom and I created a mexican fiesta, rolling beans and cheeses into our grande burritos and making homemade tortilla chips (Bahrain lacks the selling of tortilla chips in their grocery stores :( ... )
By overcoming our minor setback with genius thinking dinner was muy delicioso!

Day 8:
can...not...move. Obviously wakeboarding uses much more muscles than thought. Our soreness however was much forgotten after the decadent breakfast made with great culinary skill by the one-and-only Chef Dominique. The day was spent vegging out, I mean, recovering on the couch. That evening we decided to step outside and show a bit of our competative sides. Go-carting! Twin-engine. Super-fast ;). For the majority of the race Dominique was in the lead, with me in clooose second. Yup, we left the boys to eat our dust. However I was soon passed, and finished in very close third. In my defense my right tire stopped touching the ground and the axles were, uh, not cooperating... yea.

Day 9:
Thursday evening was spent at City Center including dinner and a movie. Dinner consisted of Asian food at 'Memories' and language barriers between staff and customer, that however did not keep us from enjoying the delicious food. After dining we had almost an hour before the movie started. Hmmm... how to kill an hour in a mall? What to do? A scavenger hunt of course! :D We created a list from items selected at random, divided ourselves into teams of two, and set out to rumage through the mall.
OUR LIST:
-ice cream cone
-kayak
-giant teddy bear
-'DD' bra
-nike shocks
-bible (english)
-frying pan
-cartman doll
-akon c.d.
-4k diamond necklace
-american flag
-green socks
The way this scavenger hunt was conducted was that once a team found an item they must take a picture of it with whatever photographical device they had, then they could cross it off their list. The team with the most items wins. The team with the least, well, the male of that team had to eat something from a bucket full of random sea creatures caught by a fellow Navy bud.
The movie we saw that evening was 'Clash Of The Titans' in 3-D. Very good movie! Very 3-D! I must say, well spent evening :)

  1. Kelsea lulu, you are HILARIOUS!!! : ) I LOVE reading your blog! Uh, I have to admit though, that there are a few items on your scavenger hunt list with which I am not familiar... like Nike shocks, a cartman doll, an akon c.d. and what the heck is a 'DD' bra?

  2. I LOVE keeping everyone up to date on our adventures ;)
    Here's a little clarification on some of the items:

    Nike shocks- A running shoe made by Nike with "shocks" under the heel of the shoe.

    Cartman doll- A doll of a character from Southpark (?) never watched it.

    Akon C.D.- Akon is a singer, so one of his C.D's

    'DD' bra- a 'double 'D'' bra ;)

    I'll attempt to post pics of some of the stuff we found :)
