I just wanted to share a small tidbit of our new adventure. Yesterday was an exciting day. It rained here!! This only happens around 2 times per year. Schools closed early due to the chance of rain yesterday. The international school stayed open, but Saudi schools closed. We had 39 minutes of a very hard rain that my daughter played in and loved. However, the streets and homes are not built for rain, so there are always problems. I've attached some picture of our front yard.
I have to add about 15 of us women were talking and laughing hysterically through the whole ordeal as we watched the water rise to our front doors. I have to add, that although this life can be frustrating from all the differences to our normal existence, the woman here understand and we've grown to laugh a lot in order to get through it. You never know what each day may bring here :) and who thought we'd all be dancing in the rain in the desert!
