Joyful in Jeddah

After arriving we took a walk to the Star Market, a little grocery store on the compound. We decided some of the prices were high and we wanted more groceries & toiletries than we wanted to purchase here. Priced for the convenience of not having to leave the compound.

We engaged a taxi driver from the compound car service.  He name is Areka. He would become our go to driver.  He took us to two grocery stores. He would find us in the check out line and take us to the taxi.  In response to our questions he gave told us where we could buy an abaya at a good price for Triniti.  

Solomon woke up early our first morning in the villa. He joined me in the kitchen and started washing the handful of dishes from the evening before.  He said he loves how bright and sunny it is in the kitchen... "I don't mind doing the dishes here where it is bright an sunny."  This frame of mind would not carry over for long.

We spend the day unpacking. Later we were invited next door for some socializing.  They had NFL football pizza from Pizza Fusion.  No sure if it is really delicious or I was just hungry.

A good day!
