day 1


We arrived in Abu Dhabi last night and the hotel is really nice. We went to the mall today and supermarket. At our surprise there are several American restaurants more than expected. We ate at Chili's for lunch and I had Pizza hut for dinner and Paul had Popeyes. We plan to look for a villa to rent tomorrow.






Paul: The two pictures taken here were from outside our hotel. I like the second picture because it shows the hundreds of sat dishes on one building.
The heat is typical of San Antonio heat however the humidity in the city pretty much hits you in the face as soon as you walk outside. My co-workers said not to expect any nice days until September :(

    Thanks for the great pictures. Look forward to reading your blogs. I have just figured out how to write a comment.

  2. Glad you got there. I guess the misery (heat) index is very high. Lucy chases Teddy around a lot. Miss you all.

  5. I'm glad there are some familiar things in your new country - like pizza, a mall, etc. I liked the pictures - the sat dishes are amazing (I've got to stop thinking that Abu Dhabi is not as advanced as America!!)
