On Fridays the law school closes early in observance of the holy day. My driver is a very nice man who works hard and sometimes long hours. He said he wanted to be “done with you” by 1:30 so he could attend prayer services at 2. So he picked me up before 1. I am afraid my market needs, traffic and giving others rides made him late. He did not complain.
I had a longer afternoon to explore, so I found this working beach about 3 kilometers (2 miles) from my house. This is just south of one of the nicest resorts in the country. The resort is right across from where I live. I had planned to try to talk my way past security to get to the beach sooner, but the resort was swarming with military Friday afternoon. A foreign dignitary was staying there, according to a friendly police officer (who first tried to sell me a Mercedes Benz parked in front of him).
