girls' weekend in dubai

dubai, again. it is a very un-granola place. opposite of granola, even gourmet style yuppy granola. more of a champagne and strawberries place.

we arrived late in the evening and hit the pub at the hotel. it was delightful to have drinks with the girls and chat.



thursday consisted of lunch at the hard rock cafe and a way too long trip to the mall. i did get the cutest shoes ever, but still, should have gone back to the hotel to chill out for awhile instead of hanging out at the mall for 8 hours. jenna and caroline skied but jessica and i did not.

here are the slopes from the outside. that's right, folks, skiing in the mall



things are a little busy at the moment- upcoming events include hosting a friend and former colleague this weekend (coming up from Saudi), seeing the high school play, finishing preparing for my band concert saturday, which included an after school rehearsal today. tomorrow after school is a middle school fun night, until 4:30pm. sunday is my friend's birthday, monday is band practice, tuesday is the choir concert, wednesday our jazz band plays at the embassy, there's a folk night and a wind up party for the jazz band. fun times.

after that things slow down marginally. then it will be time to come home. please let me know if you need anything from here- pashminas? palestinian olive oil? abbaya? tacky jewellery?

soon, soon
