Arabian Coffee > Jetlag

Yours truly is now operating on about 45 minutes of sleep after a night of tossing, turning, and a failed attempt to lull myself to sleep watching Al-Jazeera cricket highlights and 1/3 of a movie starring Jesse Metcalfe dubbed in Arabic. When I finally drifted off around 4:15am, I was roused for good a short time later by the morning call to prayer.

Lucky for me the coffee here is extremely awesome. It's a lot like fellow traveler Luke - amiable and obliging, yet strong as an ox with charisma to spare. I'm planning on at least 3 generous pours of that life-giving auburn-colored elixir before we head out.

  1. Based on the video today, Saudi Arabi reminds me a little of the men's grill at the local country club. (But they use to let women in on Wednesday afternoons!) Those were the good old days - jkgf.

    Glad Sarah is getting her fill of donuts. Makes me proud.

    Sounds like a great trip so far. Keep up the blogging - it is great.

    Enjoy your travels,

    Sarah's Dad

  2. And it looks like Leslie's coffee addiction will survive the trip as well!
