Mr. B and Me

KFSH - A few more pictures

(October 2004)

Though nothing exciting has been happening lately, here are a few more pictures of my home. Here I am overlooking the hospital campus. The construction below me is for a new housing complex scheduled to open in 2006.
That circled window is where my apartment is. I had to sit Mr. B on the ledge while I went outside to take the picture so I'd know exactly which window was mine. He's so small you can't see him, but he's there -- and he was glad when I came back in and got him off that high ledge!
The hospital campus is somewhat self-contained. Here's a shot in our little grocery store. I get most of my groceries there and go out to other stores once a month or so to pick up the items I can't get here. Then, for the sweets craving, there's Dunkin Donuts and The Cone Zone!
We even have our own greenhouses. The grounds staff regularly replaces the plants in the many garden areas all over the campus according to the seasons. Then there's these inquisitive guys -- they belong to the Research Center here.  
Even though it's in the middle of the desert -- or maybe because it's in the middle of the desert -- the people of Riyadh seem to love the water (and so do I). You'll find water falls/fountains all over town. Here's the water fountains in the Outpatient lobby at KFSH and also another view of the falls in the Al Mather Park.  
I discovered just this week that I could actually get up onto the roof of my apartment building. There's even a gravel patio and some lounge chairs up there! Here are a few pictures from this vantage point.
