Fun at the Camel Racetrack

This is a robot jockey on the back of the camel. The little robots even had visors on to shield their eyes (not) from the sun!

These animals can really move fast when they want to!

On their first day here we were able to take Mike, Kerry and Judy golfing at the Abu Dhabi Country Club. This is where the Pros play in January.

Festival of Thinkers 2007

This event happens every other year in Abu Dhabi. 100 "thinkers" from all over the world gathered at the Emirates Palace Hotel to meet and discuss various issues. Nobel Prize winners were abundant. Brad's friends and collegues Mike Benson and Kerry Romesburg were among those selected to be thinkers this year. What a great time we have had showing them around Abu Dhabi and attending events with them at the Palace.

Fun at the Palace...While the thinkers were hard at work!

We even got a camel ride on the beach!



While the guys were busy thinking we had a great time with Judy having lunch poolside and playing the afternoon away at the Emirates Palace.


Judy Romesburg "thinking" poolside at the Emirates Palace..Now that's THINKING!

Jacqui and the boys having fun on the "lazy river".

Charlie getting warm on the ground by the pool.

The boys didn't even slow down long enough to smile for photos! They were having so much fun running to the top of the slide and shooting down. The slide would spit them out just like little torpedoes!
