View of downtown. There is a mosque in the foreground (the steeples) and the golfball building is Etisalat, the national phone/internet provider. They have offices all over.
Yum- Can't wait to eat at the Butt Sweet House!
It's illegal to take pics of the women here, so I took a pic in one of the many sheyla/abaya shops in the mall. They have tons of ornate ones to choose from.
Typical Middle Eastern wares store
Going for a stroll in our neighborhood.
Typical yard in our compound.
Girls eating at the tiny table at Mugg and Bean.
These sheikh signs are everywhere.
Down at Port Zayed near the fish market. The water is a gorgeous turquoise.
Wow! What an amazing experience at the Fish Souk / Market. There were dozens of stands, each trying to get you to look at their fresh catch. They hold this every day using fish straight from the gulf.
One of my favorite meals yet! This was at a local hole-in-the-wall Lebanese restaurant. This is the spread you get before your meal no matter what you order. We ordered a ton of food and our entire bill was 50dirhams (about 13 dollars). The wait staff everywhere you go loves kids. They gave Gracelyn and Audrey cookies and took Gracie in the back to show her to the cooks. This is very typical here I had heard, but it made Daddy very nervous!
Marroush, the restaurant from above
Gracie wearing Mommy's shoe in our bedroom. The floors are tile all over. I haven't seen carpet anywhere, probably b/c of all the dust here.
Audrey did a photo-shoot for "Gaga" (that's what she calls her) in her bedroom. You can see Audrey's new duvet.
Audrey iceskating. There are actually 3 places in town to iceskate.
Doing "Lady and the Tramp" at the Noodle House in Shangri-La Hotel.
View off the balcony of Noodle House. That's the Grand Mosque across the water.
It was hot and windy but she was lovin every minute!
The yacht marina at the Shangri-La. There are some ladies in abayas enjoying the view.
The sun setting by the Grand Mosque. The cranes are everywhere. There is construction taking place all around Abu Dhabi.
