The Kuwaiti Towers, Us & Our Sweet, Sweet Jeep |
We got a car! It is such a life changer. In a matter
of an hour, we went from being dependent on taxis and buses to having the freedom
and the means to go anywhere we want, whenever we want.
To make it even better, we bought the best, most high
quality vehicle either of us have ever owned. It is a black 2004 Jeep Grand
Cherokee. It has a leather interior, 4-wheel drive, a tow package and
electronic everything. We are beyond spoiled.
So we took it out for a tour of the city. We drove down the
gulf highway and took in the sights. Gorgeous. We stopped at the Kuwaiti Towers
and took a scenic photo; then we ran back to our plush, air-conditioned
interior, since it was 121 degrees out. We admired some palaces and stared at
the ships in the sea. We felt so free.
On our way back, the gaslight dinged. We pulled into the
nearest station and the attendant filled us up. We had driven a little over 350
miles and to fill up cost less than $12. B nearly cackled with glee. As we
pulled out, he looked over and said, “Let’s just go do donuts in the desert
until we empty this tank… What’s another 12 bucks?”
