As promised, here is my gripe about the heat. It got up to 110F today. The wind is coming in from the desert now and hits the ocean and it is like living in an steam oven. I left a window open the other day and when that hot air hit the air conditioned air, I created my own little weather system upstairs complete with clouds and mist. The marble floors were covered in water and there was fog...quite the little science experiment.
There is a rumor that the weather center in Dubai is forging the temperture readings. Construction workers are not supposed to work in the direct sun when the temperature hits 122F. Areas around Dubai are hitting 122F and higher, while Dubai manages to stay at least 20 degrees cooler???? It is a mystery for sure. In 6 weeks it will be Ramadan and these guys get to work in the heat w/0 water all day. I truly don't know how they do it.
We have had to give up our Corniche walks and are now walking in the mall. This is great because it is air conditioned and we can look at stuff while we walk. I especially like the lap that takes us by Chanel, Dior and Gucci. Nice scenery I must say. We make 4 laps and pass by a pizza place and each time they try to hand us menus and seat us, we must look hungry. Then there are the perfume shops that try to squirt us...maybe we look smelly too.
