Wading in the Persian Gulf and A Visit to the Riffa Fort

Our day, which is the last before Gundy has to go back to work for 3 days, began with some home made cheese omelets and toast with pineapple jam.  We decided to go to the beach on the southwest tip of the island and wade around looking for shells.  I found a few nice shells and the real prize was a camel jawbone with a couple of teeth still in it.  Very cool.  Scott lost a ring while scooping a shell or something...not cool...  Then we went to the Shiekh Salman Bin Ahmed Al Fateh, or Riffa, Fort.  This is a larger more modern fort than the last one, very cool to see!

Hello from knee deep in the Persian Gulf:

On the way home I finally got a good shot of the World Trade Center:


Last day of vacation?  Time for a BBQ!!
