George W. with Sheikh Mohammed, Condoleezza Rice and Ambassador Michele Sison,
I'm back in Abu Dhabi now. I enjoyed my Texas time, but I'm glad to be back especially for the blog's sake. The inspiration to write hits me as soon as I enter Abu Dhabi airspace. I get my bags and we are walking to the car. It is about 68 degrees and I'm wearing a light jacket.....David is in short sleeves and sandals. Then I look and see that the locals are wearing parkas and wool hats and all talking about the "big freeze". Then and there the blog juices begin to flow.
What has happened since I've been gone....
Two things shut down the country in January.
George W. came for a visit....and it rained. The first sitting US President ever to visit the UAE did not cause as much havoc as 3 days of rain. There is no drainage in Abu Dhabi because, well, it is the desert. Needless to say there was flooding of Biblical proportions.
For the first time, the police had to deal with "splashes" instead of "crashes".
