Dec 23 - To Mena Center and Market

To downtown today looking for grass and flowers to plant.  First stop, Mena Center.

About 1/2 mile away, open air market called Mena Market, where all sorts of plants and outdoor living stuff can be found, as well as the closest thing we have seen to a bazaar, where you can but just about anything for the right price.

Across the street as we enter, building under construction.  You can see hoe the exteriors and interiors are finished.

oops

Unusual, this bougainvillea - several plants atop a dead tree limb to look like a flower tree.

From pots to a Victrola

At the mall and TGIFriday's.  Non-alcoholic drinks only in UAE.

Dec 25 - Christmas on the Beach

What do you do on Christmas in Abu Dhabi? You go to the beach!

Lots of small shells...

Beach houses
