The Beach story

Ok it is not a tough life we live when we can drive 45 min to the beach on our day off. But last week will be the LAST time this summer we go on a Sunday. We went with friends and had a wonderful swim, the water was warm, Zaky had a good time, good lunch. Then around 2pm we decided to leave, the boys needed their nap. 3:18 we left the parking lot. This being the sometime backward country it is, people pulled into the parking area and seeing it was full, just parked were they were! And the one lane road that leads into the parking area, well of course if the parking area is full you park your car on the road leading into the area! It is a discouraging site when the car blocking you in, the driver gets out of the car and locks the door! And as I try to yell at him in my broken Arabic I notice the 5 cars blocking him in! Woof!!! We all managed to survive, without getting beat up! Or more me beating anyone up! Moral of the story: BECAREFUL WHERE YOU PARK in backwards countries, and be ready to tell 10 men to push the car out of the way!
