So our weekend is almost over. I really like weekends. We planned on exploring this weekend but decided to just relax, enjoy some friends and just do some regular life things that we wanted to get done. We took some pictures we brought with us to get framed professionally last night. Then we went grocery shopping to a really large nice grocery store. It's called Lulu Hypermarket....don't you like that...Hypermarket. Anyway. We have one right across the street from the hospital and it has everything but a brand new one was built in the city and is large, clean and I found everything I wanted today! That was a miracle in itself coming from B-town. It's sort of like Chaos-Mart (aka Wal-Mart)....has all the food, clothing, electronics, etc. This place really is like America...with only a few exceptions:)
We also found the Central Market for Al Ain today where they sell camels, goats, sheep, chicken, etc and the food for them. I felt a little odd driving around there but it's sort of fun to see....we pulled up in our car and a bunch of men from Pakistan came up and started talking to Trey....we clearly look like we didn't belong. They asked if we were there to buy a camel. I don't think it would have fit in our car today...maybe next time. A camel can go for about $10,000.
Hopefully the zoo or Dubai are on the list for next weekend. The zoo got some new white lions and people have said they are spectacular. I want to go before it gets too warm...and it's really inexpensive...like 15 Dirhams which is about $4. Not bad for the zoo.
For now...another work will be starting...how come those seem to come around so quickly?!

that is great that you guys can find all the stuff you need!
we LOVE lulu! that's where we do most of our grocery shopping. they have such an awesome produce section.
so glad you are finding what you need there. Hope you are feeling more settled with each new week. It's always sad to see the weekend go. We are living it up until hte last minute this weekend and going on a date to the movies tonight (Sun.) which is unusual for us! Guess were trying to keep our minds off of waiting for this baby...
