Pictures at the Grand Mosque. You remove your shoes before entering. All visiting women keep their hair, arms and legs covered.
This is the line at a gas station last week. The gas stations are generally very busy. They pump your gas for you.
Cutting it really close!
These are pictures in a textile area of downtown Abu Dhabi. They have every type of fabric imaginable through this area and from what I understand most shops have a taylor that you can hire to do work for you. I made the visit to a taylor that a neighbor recommended for shortening the curtains that she is letting us have for our windows. Thanks be to her!!! She also accompanied me there, to make sure I made it okay.
Me in the middle of the textile area.
Rylee and Bryce face painting at the Physician's meet and greet.
Bryce scrubbing the inside of the kitchen cupboards for me. Drew did most of this for me; thanks be to him now!!!
On the bus for our Abu Dhabi, Cleveland Clinic tour.
Pictures of the Corniche beach area. Fuzzy, sorry.
VIP entrance to the Emirates Palace.
Trade Center towers.
The hotel in Sohar.
This is a picture of one family preparing their lamb for the holiday feast that I mentioned in the last post.
The kids at Sohar Fort. You can barely see it through the trees.
The first camels we've seen, on our way back from Sohar.
There is a park just down the street from our villa and this is a picture of how sweaty Bryce got from spending one hour in the evening outside. It was still close to 100 degrees out and considered cool...
Rylee and JR after our park visit.
More pictures of the Grand Mosque.
Rylee really liked this flower.
These are the prayer times, with the names listed in Arabic and English below.
The tile work, carpets and architecture, were all so intricate and beautiful.
Drew getting the curtains up in our bedroom. Thank goodness!
The all wood furniture I bought at Lucky's in Sharjah, very near Dubai.
This is a villa just down the street from us decorated with lights. We're not sure what the lights are for, maybe just for fun but Drew wondered how he would compete come Christmas time! :)
Rylee at the Corniche beach park after we had to leave the water at sundown.

The lights are to celebrate a wedding usually, They cover the houses with lights and that's sometimes that's where the party is, you can talk to my mom if you want, she knows lots about this stuff. :)
