Last week I was back in the United Arab Emirates for this year's junior varsity volleyball tournament. My boys played well, but I have to admit it was a disheartening sixth (out of six) place finish. What was fascinating for me was that this time the school decided to fly us into Dubai and then we took a bus to Abu Dhabi, a 2-3 hour drive. The bonus - a chance to see some of the unusual architecture scattered around Dubai, Abu Dhabi and regions between. There are the
twisty tall buildings that dominate the Dubai skyline. Some unusual ones that for some reason made me think of snails or
mice. One that looked like a
wheel, while another reminded me of the
train of a wedding dress. There is always an overwhelming mosque - this time the pure
white Sheikh Zayed
mosque, along with
smaller ones dotted around the city. One thing for sure, it is a big change from the architecture you see in Delhi!
