I posted some pictures to the blog, but there are some things that cannot be capture in photos. The past two weekends were busy:
The last bit of excitement was work related! Today was a lot of fun for me. We had a nice drive to Ras Tanura airport early this morning to catch a helicopter to an offshore facility. The facility was very interesting and we got the added bonus of a boat ride to two other facilities and being hoisted by a rope basket at one point. I felt we should have paid admission! The helicopter was very comfortable with 12 people (plus two pilots). A really nice perspective of the area, although the open was not terribly picturesque ;-)
- October 6, 2011 was Octoberfest at the Gulf Hotel in Bahrain. It was a great time for all with a great deal of beer available, good selection of German food (including great pork), and a oompah band! The ballroom was very full of people, many of whom were in traditional attire such as liederhosen or bavarian style dresses. Such a grand night, but one where I took few pictures. Afterwards I stayed at the Gulf Hotel, which was quite amazing!!
- October 13, 2011 was Canadian Thanksgiving in Bahrain hosted by a Canadian social group. The event was held at Upstairs Downstairs near the Gulf Hotel and a fun time was had by all. A great group of people and a good night out :-)
