We've now been in Riyadh for over two weeks and our first weekend is finally upon us!
The past fews weeks have been busy with settling in and getting our villa set up, organizing and decorating our classrooms, navigating the streets of Riyadh, and learning new curriculums. We've had a couple 1/2 days off, but we have found ourselves spending time at school or stocking up on groceries and household necessities during that time. I'm sure we'll spend a majority of our weekend relaxing by the pool and resting, but we also have plans to make an IKEA run, visit a home supply store to buy paint for our villa, as well as visit one of the nearby plant souks (bizarre or local market).
By the way, our weekends are on Thursday and Friday here. Muslims' holy day is on Friday, so their weekends are different from the rest of the world. It's going to take some getting used to before I fully embrace our new "weekend".
