"This is fine"

Adventures of a me this past time that I haven't been blogging:

Side note: Recently, all my life, when I write I like to misuse grammar but obviously and on purpose. 

So I've been at the villa by myself for almost 2 weeks while the family is in Paris but they get back tomorrow. Everyone kept saying how bored I would get and how lonely it would be. I wasn't either. I did feel lonely but more of a homesickness than a loneliness. I miss being able to spend time with my family and friends. I miss being able to be alone at /my house./ there is a distinct difference between my house and the house of my employer. It's very difficult for them to become the same thing and I don't want them to. I miss Austin so much. I've decided that Texas is a country and it is the best country and it is ruled by peculiarities and freedom and conservatives and its nonsense makes 100% sense because Texas. ( why yes, I have taken at least three years of logic, why do you ask?)

It may or may not be midnight. 

Oh queso, I went to Dubai and it was pretty fun. I went to a museum!!!!!!! I really like museums. And then I walked down to some souks. A souk is like a back alley of ghetto shops that sell random things like scarves and souvineers and fake Rolex and Louie Vuitton. It was scary because I was by myself and being an American female I got a lot of salesmen yelling for me to come look in their stores. It was overall fun and I bargained prices and got a couple gifts for people, but I was internally freaking out. 

Then I rode a water taxi thing called a something that I can't remember across the creek for respectfully 37 cents and walked around some more souqs. (yes both spellings are correct)

I went camping in the desert the next day although I didn't stay overnight. It was really fun, I went with my friends from crossroads. I'll add pictures of all my life at the end. 

I really haven't done that much. Personally, one of the best parts from the past few weeks has been reading in Exodus. I find that if you just read the bible then wherever you are ends up being where you ought to be. For example I just randomly am in Exodus and was reading about the Passover and what is this Friday? The Passover. Also whenever I talk to people it's pretty common to be able to relate things back to wherever I am. Especially when I'm reading about the Israelites and living in UAE. That's kind of a long train of thought to explain in the middle of the night so I'll let you imagine how the two could be related in my mind. Except my mom because I spoke with her about it a few whiles ago. 

Sometimes I just;

So yes, picture time!

Left middle, looking at the doa(?) boats from one of them on the creek

Left bottom, an old bed in a bamboo hut like people used to use about a long time ago (I should try to write when I'm fully awake so I can think clearly)

Bottom middle, an old crib! It's so cute! And it's like a hammock crib thing! I want one for me. 

Bottom right, view of the creek/Dubai from the boat taxi doa thing

The big picture, wind tunnels in the hut to help bring airflow into it before ac was even capable of being imagined. 

I found out why the "Gold Souq" is called that. It's because every store sold gold. 

I bought these at a souk for my niece, Maia. 

Jumping on sand dunes

Some of my friends from crossroads at the desert. 

This is what I do when I'm alone and I miss people. And I have a bajillion accessible photos of us. 

Also this happens when I want to be in Austin again

So many collages

Okay, I'm done. 

If there is anything in particular anyone wants me to write about or take pictures of, let me know either in comment, via email, or through Facebook. My next blog will have pictures of Ski Dubai since I plan on going there in about a week.
