UAE Spirit

Today is UAE National Day - the celebration of the 39th anniversary of the UAE. There are flags up everywhere and so many special events going on around town. The Atlantis is all decked out in the UAE flag colors and looks quite impressive from our balcony.




We unfortunately did not get out to enjoy the parades or fireworks. Rich is (once again) in South Africa for a few days and Angela and I have both been fighting a little bug so I didn't want to go out. Angela did get to celebrate at nursery school yesterday - all of the children dressed in the colors of the UAE flag and they did special projects revolving around the country. She messed up her outfit before I could get a photo, so instead I'll post some photos from tonight on our balcony. The night time temperature is perfect for hanging outside lately - we love it!!
