The Road to Wafra

The other day we went to see the family farm in Wafra. On our way out of town we stopped to meet some more family members - Here Adele is getting to know one of her little cousins as they all pose for a picture.

And here she's bonding with another. They became fast friends very, very quickly and were so sad to part - but we had to get on the road.

The road to Wafra is long, flat and straight, like most desert roads I suppose!

However, from the speeding car you can sometimes spy camels, sheep and goats penned up near tents. During the winter months, Kuwaiti's set up tents in the desert where they stay on the weekends - a family vacation home different from any I've ever imagined. I really found it interesting that they camp so close to highways and cities - it's the tent that matters, not it's location.

Of course, some of us were more fascinated with the view than others...

Farm pictures to come soon - camera battery recharge needed :-)
