Back to Buraimi

It's hard to believe that it was five short weeks ago that we packed up our little Buraimi flat and headed out (encouraged by our desire to get home and one of the many summer power outages that plagues our little town during the "hot" months). Last night, after a minor snafu regarding some very expensive film, an x-ray machine, the French police and two late-arriving travellers (more later), we made it back to Dubai and were reunited with our SC Crew.

It was familiar to get back to the Middle East in a surprising, yet comforting way. The Arabic, the local dress, the sand (oh, the sand), and the heat.

But the first thing (after a bit of sleep) I was excited to get to was the trip pics. Unfortunately, our camera up and got a bit of flash flu and had to go to the shop for most of our trip and little Coca-Cola bath washed over our early-home-trip-pics-including memory card, BUT we do have a few of the end (and some really extraordinary events) as well as a TON of France and our romantic-buffer-birthday trip.

As soon as I get them downloaded, I'll be sure to post (and they'll be posted in the order of occurance on the memory card).

In the mean time, enjoy your Labor Day weekend, which we don't have (such a cruel early reminder of the culture change!).
