Back in school for the week (the weekends here are Thursday/Friday...) Don't have a lot of time to write now...though may actually attempt to get some wireless internet in my life this week (I have heard rumors of it lurking in Starbucks in certain-westernized-areas of muscat. have yet to see for myself though!)

This weekend was nuts. A lot of random kids running through the house (families here are VERY close, so they seem to always have one cousin or another over!) We also had a memorial serivce in the house for a cousin who had died in London. It was a sad occasion, but the recitations from the Koran were beautiful. Afterwards, I got to meet even more members of the family...can't keep everyone straight!

Have to run but will write more later-
