Ahhh yes, the trip pics finally emerge! These image-heavy posts will be coming for a while, so stick around if you’re interested!

And now….the our time in the United Arab Emirates: Part I.

{Traveling on Emirates Airlines – free drinks, Frozen on my personal TV, a cozy blanket, oodles of leg room, and lamb with saffron rice with a side of lentils and feta, and a roasted Mediterranean veggie spread that blew my taste buds out of the water. In the morning they served a crazy tasty breakfast with an absolutely delicious croissant and, deep in the night to anyone who was awake, an unexpected midnight snack of a steaming hot cheesy pizza, a fresh pear, and a gin and tonic. They win.}

{Proud wifey!}

{The toastiest marble my buns will ever touch…and never touch again because, lesson learned, sitting on 120 degree marble is not pleasant}

{It only looks like it’s 75 degrees. Really, it’s about 115 – we were just wearing it particularly well at this very moment}

{Campus is a lush desert paradise….with tons of handsome stray kitties who were lured into the University City gates by tons of equally handsome tropical birds, who were lured here by the promise of the tons of water it takes to keep this place lush and green. Totally wild and unexpected, but a very welcome surprise!}
