Checking in but nothing to write about. Work has kept me busy and I seem to have less downtime in Bahrain than in Kuwait. We're trying to cram in more work here because we're bringing in people from other countries to meet with us. Since I can't go to Saudi Arabia, the Saudi guys are here. Last night they told me about the zoo in Riyadh. It turns out that when the zoo is open, women are only allowed to go one day a week. The rest of the week, only men. Families cannot go together. It is either men or women but never mixed except for small children. On women's day at the zoo, all the monkeys have to wear pampers. Go figure.
Dusseldorf - continued
The sun slowly gave way to clouds then rain. This is not a city for walking in the rain. Before it was time to shelter and stay dry, I did one last walk around the area. The business district and surrounding areas are clean and little graffiti or murals. Found this flamingo? near the old city. While the leaves probably congest the waterways, they do look cool floating on the water. Ornate door entrance. Soon after this was taken, the clouds and mist lowered and the top of tower stayed obscured for the rest of my stay. I decided to pass on paying to go to the top when there was no visibility. Back in my hotel room I saw this rainbow emerge right before the rain started pelting down.
Pampers? You're kidding right?
