It has been a rough week in team SoPierce. Our spirits have been low and it seems that no amount of working out, homemade pizza nights, or Christmas carrols could help them rise. Saturday morning, after a good long chat, we realized that our souls needed some refreshing. So, we did some quick research and headed out to the #2 tourist attraction in Kuwait -- Green Island.
After picking up our picnic lunch of falafel with pickles, putting on our long sleeved layers, and paying our 1 KD, we arrived at our destination -- a man-made island located in the gulf. We were warned that crowds might be swarming the island on a Saturday afternoon and despite this, we decided to brave the crowds to improve our sanity. Well, it looks like "crowds" means about 16 other people, because the island was desolate (as Adam pointed out, why be outside when they could all be at the mall).
In all actuality, we really enjoyed ourselves. We walked the island a few times, enjoyed the cold breeze coming off the ocean and were actually able to hold hands without getting evil stares and being told it was haram!! As our moods lifted and we walked in circles praising man made green spaces, we decided that Green Island will stay in the weekend repertoire.
