Today was a Saudi holiday. The offices were closed and there was work being done on the computers in the office, but I was able to do some work here in Steineke, nevertheless.
Today started out very foggy, but it cleared up by noon. I spent most of the day in this small room - how dreadful. Did manage to get some work done and run some comparisons on computers. took my walk after dinner (6.5 km). Not much excitement. The internet was up and down here today. More up than down.
One of the places I always visit when I go to a grocery store or market is the seafood section. It used to be a great display of the local fish, but today those fish come from all over the world - frozen quickly and air freighted to distant markets. But, here in Saudi Arabia a lot of the fish in the market does come from the Persian Gulf or the Red Sea. There are fish of all kinds: shark, belt fish (ribbon fish), Hamour (grouper), sea brim (sheepshead like fish), stingrays, and so forth and so on. The pictures show the variety of fish in a typical fish market here in Al Kobar.
