Abu Dhabi and Dubai


December 27th Andrew, Birgit and I flew to Abu Dhabi

They live in a large (2500 sq. ft.) apartment with 3 balconies.  Here we are  on the balcony from the dining and living room.  Those high-rise buildings were not there 4 years ago.


The view from the opposite direction.  That's the Arabian gulf in the background.

Andrew and I sitting on the balcony.

This is the dining room.  The picture above is one of Birgit's creations.

Andrew is seated in the cosy living room.  The two afghans I knitted for them are proudly displayed.

The full dining room.
 
It's New Year's Eve and out comes the champagne!


Guests, Dave and Lynn arrive to help us celebrate.

There goes the cork!  We went from one balcony to the other two to watch the fireworks coming from all directions.


Welcome 2013!!!

  1. It looks like you had a wonderful New Years in Abu Dhabi! I would love to hear more about the different things you saw while you were there as I prepared a massive project on the city while in college. Hope you're well!

    Love from the States,
