A First-Ever Sight In Abu Dhabi

The flags were flying around the Emirates Palace Hotel where the President is staying.  You can see the beautiful architecture in the shot below.

This is the first time in history a sitting U.S. President has visited the U.A.E.  While I complain about the inconvenience of having him here, because it totally throws off the city traffic, I have to admit...It's really fun to see Old Glory blowing freely in the wind with the Emirate flag.
