Overdue update

Here we are in July on the walls of Avila, where Belen was born!

Easter Holidays

My mum and dad came to visit us for Easter. They came for ten days so after showing them all the sights we had nine days left to kill.....only joking. We did, however, spend a few days at the Hilton.

Mis padres veniron a visitarnos por Semana Santa. Ellos veniron para diez dias asi que despues han visto todos las vistas quedan nueve dias libre.......broma! No obstante pasamos un par de dias en el Hilton.




"How do you solve a problem like Maria (Belén)?" Actually Belén and Mum had to wear and abayas (spelling?) to get in the Grand Mosque.

Como resolver una problema como Maria (Belén)? La verdad es que Belén y mi madre tenian que poner abayas para entrar La Gran Mezquita.

Aladino's visit/La visita de Aladino

Belén's dad, Aladino, came to stay with us for 2 weeks last month. As you can see from the photos he had a great time visiting the sights of Kuwait and indulging in a few of the local customs.

El padre de Belén, Aladino queda con nosotros para 2 semanas el mes pasado. Asi podais ver en las fotos que paso un buen rato visitando las vistas de Kuwait y intentando algunos costumbres locales.

Tommy's cars/Los coches de Tommy

Tommy likes his cars and tractors (which will make his Grandad Aladino happy!). Here he is at Kuwait Magic, the shopping mall close to where we live. We hope he doesn't pick up any of the local driving habits.

A Tommy le gustan los coches y tractores (lo que alegrará a su abuelo!). Aqui esta en Kuwait Magic, el centro comercial mas cercano a nuestro piso. Esperemos que no aprenda los costumbres de conducir Kuwaities.

Our new rug/Nuestra alfombra nueva

We bought a new rug at the Friday market. According to the salesman it was hand made in Turkey (we'll take his word for it). We're happy as it covers up most of the cold marble floor in our living room.

Hemos comprado una alfombra en uno de los mercados que organizan aquí. Segun el vendedor es una alfombra turca, hecha a mano. Nos encanta que cubre casi toda la parte del salón que tiene suelo de marmol.



Now we can play on the floor as well!

Ahora podemos jugar por el suelo, tambien!
