We awoke to rain today. It felt great. We all put on our hoodies and headed off to school. I was getting all geared up to spend the day in the house catching up on things and making the best use of this rainy day time...Then...on the way to school I could tell the clouds were breaking up so I hurried and snapped a picture. After all, if Bobbi isn't coming to visit..we may not have any more rain this year, as that seems to be the one factor that guarantees rain in the UAE!
By the time I was finished running my errands, getting groceries, and waiting for the utilities company to open so I could pay the bill...we had clear blue skies again..The great thing about this?? I now can read my book out by the pool and put off those "Rainy-Day" Tasks for some other time. The best thing about this quick rain storm was how well it cleaned the domes of the mosques and the palm trees are green again. The city feels clean and fresh.
Say "Hello" to our VIP VISITORS! I have no idea who owns these two beautiful yachts that are anchored just outside the Emirates Palace Hotel...But I'm fairly certain the economy isn't really "Rockin' their Boat" right now, like it is most of the world. These pics don't do them justice.. They are enormous. The one on the right has been here for a week and I thought it was huge until it's buddy showed up and made it look
?small?
These babies are so big that underneath there are 4 double car garage doors that open up so they can park their 2-4 ski boats and jet skis underneath! Amazing...
