Good times to be had during our last Ramadan in Bahrain. The days may be quiet, but the evenings are full of fun.
It’s the best time to go to the waterpark — we had the place to ourselves.
It was an unusually cool day and not nearly hot enough for me to enjoy it fully. I was wishing I had a sweatshirt as soon as the sun set.
The kids from church and the base chapel all came as a group. It was fun for the boys as they each went off with their friends.
This is the best amusement park food I’ve ever had. Their mixed grill is cooked fresh over hot coals right while we waited — chicken tikka, shish tawook, and chicken and beef kabob. Add some hummus, bread and salad and it’s WAY better than a weirdly processed burger.
Not specifically a Ramadan activity, but anytime is a good time for carpet shopping. We made one more carpet purchase. Our qum — we finally brought one home. (A bucket list carpet: 100% silk Persian)
And an evening dinner in Amwaj on the water at a friend’s house.

who can clear the rocks below? (hopefully everyone!)
A last hurrah before 4 families split in 4 different directions: Singapore, UAE, Bahrain, and the US.
Most of our kids (missing a few)
Always hoping the fish are biting.
One last Iftar buffet — under the tent at Passions restaurant. Spoiled for choice, especially when there are crepes and ice cream on the menu.
Why would I ever complain about Ramadan?
