Feast or Famine

Apparently, it is necessary to have 2 spare hours to upload pictures on my blog. Luckily, I was able to start the process, then go to lunch, add some more, then grade some papers, add some more and take stuff to the copy room. You get the picture... no pun intended. But here it is, finally - a little of our life in pictures.
To begin - our layover in Frankfurt - doesn't he look like a little grown-up?
Riding the metro - to Ibn Battuta mall. Each section of the mall is dedicated to one of the countries where he traveled - the architecture is pretty amazing.

Umm Sequim Beach - with a great view of the Burj al Arab

Our apartment building - you can see our apartment on the bottom left - third floor at the back. We actually live on the second floor, but there is the ground floor that counts too... We have tried one of the restaurants downstairs - Persian food. Their food is tasty - well except the lamb, I wasn't too fond of that.

The kitchen...

The dining room...

The living room... sorry for the messes in every room. My excuse is that we were/still are moving in, and these were taken before the maid was hired. Literally.

The master bedroom...

More of the beach...

Watching the construction across the street...

The aquarium in Sharjah - soooo cool!

The park - and swinging with his friend Sam.

Local scenery - the mosques are beautiful, and the Burj at night is pretty awesome too.

Riding a water taxi across Dubai Creek from the old fort that is now the Dubai Museum to the spice souk, shown in the next pictures.

So there it is - and the city is shutting down the power in 15 minutes, for who knows what reason, so I am going to hurry and post before these hours are wasted! Enjoy!
