It's been pretty quite around here the last week. Though I throw in some random pictures I took while I was wondering around looking for ways to fill my day up. You can only build so many sandcastles in a day before you get all sandcastled out.
So a few days ago I volunteered to be a driver and part of that was dong a familiarization drive to figure out how it all works over here. In other words: Road Trip!! We went over to visit a near by army installation because the army gets all the cool stuff. They have a Chilis, a Taco Bell and a Bazaar open every day. Meanwhile the Air Force is slumming it with a Subway, Pizza John's, and only a monthly Bazaar. It was kind of a hassle all in all, and the trip took all day and I was exhausted when we got back, but all the $8 virgin Margaritas I could drink!
So this is what everything looks like in every single direction:
Occasionally there are some tents:
And there are quite a few mosques:
There's a pink one!
They really are very nice, and you can hear the calls to prayer for miles
They really like these kinds of water towers. I don't know why they don't put a big round thing up top to hold more water but whatever
They're all over the place
This is the entrance to the local private shooting club. You'd think it was some UN HQ with all the flags out front. I guess they really love shooting stuff here.
They also have their own Taj Mahal
More Taj
Gas city out there. Stretches on forever
Took a wrong turn somewhere
You'd think each of those buildings are like apartments or condos or something, but no they are all giant houses. They stick their whole extended families in there so they can get huge.
Look a blue one!
More water towers and families living on top of each there. Also a playground off to the left.
And of course, Camels!
Also the Harlem Globetrotters came to town! It's their 90th year of taking on the Washington Generals!
So good they had to add a 4pt shot
The Globetrotters know the importance of stretching
They can dunk like crazy, it's insane. They are seriously like at least twice as good at dunking than I am
And of course being the flat dry desert you get some really nice sunsets
