dubai

it took me ten minutes to figure out which button on blogger was "new post" in arabic. very confusing.

ah, dubai. only two days left in our eleven day adventure. and it's truly been an adventure. camels, mosques, and dishdashas in contrast with starbucks, range rovers, and really strong martinis. dubai is gorgeous, expensive, and fast-paced, and ras al khaimah (where said's parents live) is also gorgeous, seaside, and ohsoquiet. said's family has welcomed me with open arms and i feel completely at home.

more to come. i'm off to enjoy my remaining 48 hours.
