Beach year round.....


Who doesn't love the beach! Going on walks, collecting shells, people watching, seeing what creatures wash up on shore nut mostly just relaxing in the sun......





Desert!!!


A brave group of four went dune bashing through the sand dunes, almost like sledding high speed through sand!!! Stomachs were not too happy but it was beautiful!!

Halloween in Dubai


I really had no idea American holidays would be celebrated here but Halloween was a blast inside and outside school! We had a huge elementary school parade with music and cameras and tons of spectators! It was great fun! At night two little vampire twins actually came trick or treating from across the hall and then there was a rooftop party for teachers at night!!
I dressed up in a high school uniform with another first grade teacher, my class thought it was great that I was a student!
School parade!

Pirate at night!! 
Wonder what I should be next year?!?!

Alicia Keys!!!



First concert in Dubai was at an outdoor amphitheater!!! It was a beautiful night and so nice to hear live music.
