Abu Dhabi, U. A. E.  November 10, 2022

Today was pretty lax.  I went to the beach, which was beautiful-

then spent a lot of the day in the A C in my room.  Lupper was a great burger at Shake Shack with a concrete which is chocolate custard, fudge sauce, chocolate truffle cookie dough, Valrhona chocolate pearls and chocolate sprinkles.  It sounds way better than it tasted-

While there I visited with a woman from Nepal who works there for $1275/month - 48 hours per week, 6 days per week.  She’s been here 9 years and wants to come to Canada.  Good luck I say.  She had no skills besides working at a fast food restaurant.

Mosques are everywhere-

The pool boys messed up so the pool wasn’t ready until about 5 pm.  The views from the 18th floor are great-

  I spent the evening there.  We are off to Moreeb Dune in the morning.
