Touchdown in Bahrain! The first thing I saw were little posters for "Bahrain Summer" lining the windows at the airport; here's Bear looking back on my plane. No pictures the first few days -- too busy with load in; lugging our equipment from another tent to our own because they were paving our tent with asphalt -- looking across the seating platforms of our tent. Our first meal -- Chili's.

Bear's Big Blue House -- almost  ready to go. A bit blurry view of the entrance to our venue. The blow up F1 wouldn't stay on the platform -- luckily our guys are used to working with blow up toys. Looking across the site toward the main tent and the golf ball that was part of the opening ceremony.

A look back toward our entrance again; hey  look dolphins! Tents for the other shows. Part of the main gate to "Summer City" -- our shows poster and our tent in the background.
