Here are all my guys at the Formula 1 race track in Bahrain. Bahrain host a Formala 1 race every year in the spring-time, this year the race is March 14. So, as part of the raceway, they have go-carts and a mini race track. All of us went this past Friday and had a great time. It's like sitting on the ground with a lawn mower engine strapped to your butt. It was crazy fun....a little hard on my back, but worth it.

Me, Vince, and Master Chief getting ready to tee off during the Captain's Cup golf tournament. If you have a chance look up "Royal Palm Golf Resort" + Bahrain. It's quite lovely, and the only real golf club on the island. The four of us played in this "best ball" tournament.....and normally "bogey golf" would be good golf, but not in best ball tournament play! But we had a fantastic day, and hey, a day on the golf course beats the crap out of a day at work anytime!

Here is Shaun and his boss Vince, and the Command Master Chief ready to tee off!

Here is Shaun assessing the tee shot with the typical Oil Derrick in the background....how fitting for a golf course in the middle of the Persian Gulf. The guy in the background is Shaun's boss: Vince.

Here is my honey and I on the Royal Palm Golf Course in Bahrain. It is the only golf course with grass. There is another course here in Bahrain, but it has oiled sand for fairways, and you carry a grass rug to hit your ball on. The greens are green oiled sand. This course is very nice, but also expensive, but we had a lovely day!

Here I am in front of the Great Pyramid. You can see the decay and wearing. I am uncertain as to how long the pyramids will be around at the rate of polution from Cairo and the lack of care being given to them. Cross it off the bucket list! Bottom line, you can get more and better information, if you rent a National Geographic DVD, and watch it in HD! Best part of Egypt.....seeing it with Shaun and having a few days together!

One of the few pictures with the two of us, as you can only trust other tourists with your camera. There are plenty of "locals" which offer to take your picture, then you'll have to pay them a "tip" in order to get your camera back......we got the gouge from others in my office before going. Thus, a nice Canadian couple took this, then we returned the favor for them. A great picture!
