Thursday we ventured out on foot during the early evening. We went to one of the local places for a quick dinner. I guess what we had would be called a Gyro. It was in a pita wrap. It had this garlic white spread in it. As well it had pickles, french fries (odd...I know) and the chicken. It was pretty good and pretty filling. The way that the guys made it was really unique. The chicken was all put on this big huge spindle and cooked. The guys would then spin it around and cut very thin slices off. The workers were very nice, even though they did not speak any English.
We also tried Arabic coffee, which is served with dates. Was pretty good. It had a minty taste to it. It was scaldIng hot when you got it, but other than that I enjoyed the experience.
Like I said, today is Saturday...we are off...yay! I'm sending some laundry out to be done and my package from home is set to arrive today!! I'm so excited, I'll have internet in my room!!! I'm so very excited, my mom arrives in Austin today to take care of my dog while I'm here....I can't wait to see him when she and I FaceTime. He's going to be SO spoiled by the time I get home.
You'd all be impressed, I was up early today and have already hit the gym for some cardio. Next up, breakfast and maybe some exploration of Jeddah. depends...we may stay in one as one of the GMs is going to take us to dinner (local cuisine) out by the Red Sea, and then to a cafe. I'll have a big report tomorrow!
How about you? It's the start of the weekend in the US, big plans? Message me and let me know what you've been up to, jayliffejessup@wsgc.com. I can't wait to hear from you...(ps Mark..I will write back to you today!). :-). Hope you all have a phenomenal day!
