The Midwest

I keep noticing how white people are here. I never thought of people in the Middle East as dark skinned, but all that changed after seeing the blinding white complexions of the general populace of Minneapolis. True, there are the occasional fake bakers here, but on aggregate, this place is WHITE.

So I've been back for over a week now. I'm still adjusting to life away from Dubai. It's like all the rules have changed and I need to go dig out the old manual and figure out how to make this thing go again. Working here and there to scrape some money together to feed me on my upcoming trip to Washington DC, as well as funds to launch my summer in Seattle. I'm eagerly anticipating both excursions!

My Arabian tan is slowly fading.
