Fitness Club

Just found this post as a "draft" back from 2 October 2010.  Oops.

Paul and I decided to try to look for a fitness club last weekend.  First we went to Al Ghazal which is the sand golf course near our apartment that has a workout room, pool, tennis courts, basketball courts, clubhouse, etc.  I don't think Paul was too excited about the course...it's literally all sand so when you play you carry a piece of turf around with you to hit your ball.  It does have a nice driving range though (which Paul has already "tried out" a few times).

Then we went to the Al Raha Beach hotel which is on the closest beach to us.  It is a really nice hotel with a workout room, sauna, spa, squash courts, gorgeous pool, and beach access.  All of which is really nice but...it's crazy expensive (big surprise).  So after checking out the facilities, we decided to stop at the cafe in the lobby to relax a little.

Didn't exactly turn out to be the "health"
outing that we were aiming for.

It just seemed really ironic that our goal was to find a health club and we ended up drinking specialty coffee drinks and a chocolate covered donut.
