A day in the Gulf

The Persian Gulf that is. David sent me a couple pictures of him while they were in port. So I thought I would share. They aren't the most Persian Gulf looking pictures but they were in a very wealthy city that was a major tourist destination before 9-11, Dubai. And so it is really nice, or so David says. He went to the gold and spice market but I guess didn't take and pictures of that.

I know it doesn't look like the Persian Gulf, but it is. This is David "taking a siesta" so he says. He could also be doing crunches.

This is him on the pier I think, that is his boat behind him.

Here he is at the Mall of the Emirates. I am not sure why he isn't smiling.

This is him on a "Beer Day." When they can't get off the boat for several months they have a "steel picnic" on the flight deck and get 2 beers each. Apparently it is a lot of fun, sometimes on holidays bands come and play a little concert on the flight deck. This time it was just two beers. And they cut of all his hair!!!

I only hear good things from David. They are working hard. And he is used to being on the boat. Being in port was real good for him, it is just that little boost to keep going. He has officially been gone 3 months, which is just a drop in the bucket, but everyday we get one day closer and that is fine by me. I miss him a lot, but I just get over those missing feelings and think about the good stuff. I try not to think about the past, the future or what we could be doing, I just try and appreciate him right now. That seems to work for me!
