The last week has been an eventful one. The Fall semester finished at the College, and I was able to get my exams marked and marks submitted by the end of the week. With small classes this doesn't take long! Carolyn has been coming to the college and we managed to get on to the tennis courts a couple of times. She is a good instructor and I'm hoping that with her help I can get to be a good enough player to play some games with others as well. On Sunday we actually did play with another couple, Don and Linda, at the Ramada courts.
On Saturday we went to the beautiful newly opened Museum of Islamic Arts with my friend Chas. What a remarkable ediface, and inside it is as stunning as out. The displays are fantastic with all sorts of precious relics of the past, gold, silver, pottery, porcelains, carpets, and much much more. In fact, we only visited two of the three levels. There is just too much to see on one visit. We plan to go back again next week as the College is closed for 'Eid' break. Then the next week I have to go back in for four days, before we break again for the Christmas-New Years holiday. Carolyn and I are planning a trip to Spain over Christmas, and then to Italy for the New Years week. Should be fun. I'll post some pics when we get back.
