This past weekend, in addition to us going Ballooning there was also a 3 day Wakeboard Competition just accross the street. Art took these pictures. Most of the action was out on the water, but these 2 shots were from the pool and ramps they built on the Corniche. It took 2 days to build a 200,000 gallon tank, they put up an overhead pulley system to mimic a boat.
This guy hit his butt on the ramp. Out on the water they went zoom zoom up and down the beach doing wake board stunts, flips, etc. Most of the people were from the UK. At night they set up 2 huge stages and bands played until 1 or 2 in the morning.

It really seems that each weekend there is some activity we can do.
It is starting to warm up a bit, not too hot, in the high 70's but the humidity is starting to go a bit higher...we are seeing the windows frost up and the sidewalks are damp in the morning. Art thinks we have about 2 to 3 weeks left of decent weather, we still don't have a car so that is becomming a priority. We have not moved yet so a new apartment is also on the agenda...Too many things to do and work is very hard...I need a vacation after 4 months.....we are thinking about a weekend in Oman or flying to Cyprus to 'just get away'...I can only dream now...off to bed
