This evening's food adventure involved Argentine beef at The Gaucho Grill, courtesy of Leo. He invited me out to this place, one of his favorite restaurants here in Kuwait. We arrived a bit early, and took a moment to walk around the property. From the beach we were able to see what has been certified by Guiness as the world's largest dhow (traditional Arabic sailboat) in drydock, which is used for functions by another adjoining restaurant:
The steak dinner was a welcome change from Room Service Hammour, and it was nice to sit with Leo and Nina and enjoy dinner conversation. After dinner we retired to the Starbucks next door for coffee and more conversation. It's not hard to find a Starbucks here. In fact, according to the Starbucks web site, there are 45 stores in Kuwait. While that doesn't sound like a whole lot, I can assure you that as small as Kuwait is, it seems that there is a Starbucks just about everywhere you want to be.
Tomorrow is a rare "off" day, and I plan on sleeping in. I hope you do too!
