October Break

We have had a lot of time off. We had five days for the Eid Holiday (Muslim celebration after holy month of Ramazan). Now we are on a 12 day Fall Holiday. We will go over to India and visit the district of Goa for a few days.

In September we hosted a Game Night at the Droege's. This is not a picture of our front lawn, but a jigsaw puzzle we collectively worked on for game night. Can you find the five missing pieces?
We didn't lose the pieces. We think customs confiscated them!

This incredibly intelligent bird-watcher is Simon the Cat. We were originally scheduled for a different house, but we had agreed to adopt Simon and he refused to move. We moved in to his house. He watches birds and TV.

A sport we have started enjoying here in Karachi is golf. This is a par-3 course on one of the local Navy bases. The school has an arrangement so we get to go there. The course has a two level driving range, large pro shop and three 9-hole courses. The price for 18 holes on the par-3 is $1.46 per person. We pay the caddies $6.33 each and are considered very generous! The real courses are $12.66.

This is the infamous "dirt hole" on the par-3 course. The sand is really slow, so smack it hard!
