Happy Birthday to Tim! and a sad day in Ain el Mreisseh.

Tim's birthday was Friday and what a busy day it was! After an action packed day at school, we headed home and met up with our new friends Dillon and Brittany! They love board games like us so we have started a tradition of trying to get together every Friday to play some games. We went out to dinner at a place called "Kababji". Not bad Kibbeh there! Tim had some Chicken Taouk which is like chicken kabob. Here's a picture of our new friends with the girls.


We had a nice time playing Dixit and Citadels with them.

The next picture is of the awesome tree outside the entrance to the American University of Beirut. There are a few of these trees here. I LOVE THEM. This one we happen to walk by a lot because we pass it to go where we shop for food.

There are a bunch of cats that live around the tree as well. Yes, Beirut is full of cats! Many of the staff here have ended up adopting cats from Beirut. I don't know anyone in our building that doesn't have a cat or two.

NOW FOR THE SAD NEWS.....
First of all, if you're wondering what/where Ain el Mreisseh is, it's our neighborhood we live in.
Remember last week how we so enjoyed the burgers at the Hard Rock Cafe?? IT CLOSED TODAY!! So, we ran down there today to get some stuff from the "rock shop". Okay, so it was 70% off!! Here's what we got for around 125 bucks! Big score! But we are sad that we won't be able to go there!

Good bye Hard Rock! We are sad to see you go!

Sorry this blog is so short! It's been a long week!
