Inauguration Day in the UAE



We have so many things to celebrate and take pride in today as the 44th President of the United States takes the oath of office.  
-There is a cease fire in Gaza
-The first African American President has been elected
-There will be a smooth transition of office as Obama and Bush have 
coffee together prior to the swearing in event
-WE WILL BE GOING TO THE AMBASSADOR'S RESIDENCE TO CELEBRATE
(Really, we are so much fun you would think they would have invited us before now..but,better late than never.)  We have time on our side since the events begin in our evening hours so it's party time for Americans in the UAE.

Brad and I have both been battling a serious cold, fever, etc...but we really cannot imagine missing such a great opportunity.  After all, next year at this time our chances of hanging out with a US Ambassador are quite slim..We have to go and have a great time.  I don't know if security will allow for photos but if so...I'll post tomorrow.
