{Lots of meat – mostly lamb – and cheese pastries and sweet breads…yum!}

{Banana, date, and honey smoothie – a very UAE treat}

{Our trip to Ikea-Dubai yielded two more pillows for Ted’s gigantic bed, a Tupperware set, a strainer, a kitchen rug, and a handful of other household and kitchen necessities….plus a bottle of lingonberry syrup and a bottle of rhubarb syrup that you mix with water to make sweet cocktail drinks. These were clearly added to the cart by yours truly.}

{Just so you know, when you order a sausage, egg, and cheese croissant on campus….”sausage” is really code for “hot dog.” Obviously, this did not stop Ted.}

{Interior of a domed building on campus….American college architecture has some catching up to do!}

{This country is packed with the most AMAZING desserts….I can’t tell you their names or what’s in them aside from honey and pistachios, but I still dream about these gorgeous, delicious delicacies!}

{Currency}

{Blueberry and mango ice cream balls}

{Oh, the spices!}

{and the nuts!}

{and the peppers!}

{and the dates! DATES GALORE!}

{Si makes a second appearance among the palm trees on the bus from campus to Matajer}

{A little bit of library fun with Cari! Not that either of us are in any way involved with the performing arts or anything…}

{Front porch: Day view}

{Front porch: Sunset view}

{Tropical birds everywhere! On campus. And pretty much only on campus. But what a great surprise!}

More to come in a day or two! :)
