Clockwise from top: 11. The Hidd Bridge is one of the
main roads and connects the two sides of the bay–while
also providing fishing, great views, and easy access to
Prince Khalifa bin Salman Park, the newest park built
in honor of the Crown Prince. The day before this, I saw
dolphins–which, of course, never happened again while I
had a camera in my hand. 12. Miss Tootsie–obviously–is
gorgeous. One of the strange things I noticed in Bahrain is
that calico cats are not particularly popular; more popular
is the Persian (which they call Shirazi). Tootsie was so
sweet to me and was so patient–when I would go to the
cat house, she would wait her turn quietly, but the second
I got to her house, she would come straight up to me
and instantly crawl into my arms. 13. Morgan (and her
friend Annabelle, not pictured here) were brought into the
shelter together. Morgan was protective of Annabelle, who
was in worse shape than her, but both were emaciated and
had obviously been through a lot. Despite that, both were
gentle giants who loved to snuggle and play, and quickly
won over our hearts. Also, Morgan looked a lot like
Hooch, from the 1989 movie Turner and Hooch with Tom
Hanks, and just made me smile. 14. A group of Bahraini
men at the Prince Khalifa bin Salman Park. In Bahrain, it
is pretty typical to see just groups of men, or just groups
of women, out in public. Despite its population of expats,
Bahrain tends to be more traditionally Islamic.
