loving it here..

we have been here for 3 days now and have had such a great time. We have managed to cram 4 days worth of stuff into 3- since we lost one because of the travel mishap. Some highlights of our trip so far:

• a mini-language class at the G.A.P (we had a 45 minute private class with a super cute local woman- I will just say we have lots to learn!!)
  
• tour of the mall/Carrefour in Al Ain
  
• coffee, dates, oranges, & omani bread with some of drew's guy friends
  
• a tour of a date farm
• ate yummy bread & cheese
• a night out with drew & jord's Omani friends
  
• a tour of a mosque in Muscat
  
• beach time at a P.D.O.
  
• a sunset boat ride with soft drinks & snorkeling & an engagement- congrats Mark & Stacey!!
  
• a great stay with drew & jord's best friends: John & Vic

We have done a ton more, but we will just have to share stories when we return. We are all healthy and well. We are excited for the weekend here (Thursday & Friday) and will be sad to leave on Saturday night. We love you all and miss you!
