Some Dump

Up at 9:30. Breakfast toast and tea.  James called, meeting downstairs at 12:00. We were taken to a place that looked like some dump, but then everything here does, and it wasn’t until days later that we realized it had been a chic place. Outside the sun was warm with a lot of cars going by - big Rolls Royces, big American cars.  They gave us two cars but we only used one. Went back to the hotel to try to buy A-200 to kill the crabs.

Bought Nick Carter mysteries.  At 4:00 had to meet Nadja and James again. Went to souk for local color. Ladies in black hiding their faces, big marketplace, bazaar. It got very cold.  Got an outfit to give to Victor as a gift. Spent time looking for antiques, but there are none in Kuwait - just a few old pots from a couple of years ago. We were the only foreigners in the marketplace.
