Thanksgiving 2008, Dubai Style

There are times when pictures just say it all...

Girl's night at Oscar's Wine Bar...









Becky, Kate, Robin, Susan and I enjoyed free tastes, which of course led to three bottles and then we had to get one more quick glass before we headed off to Barasti to meet some friends who had just played in a beach volleyball game.










Good thing we went all the way to Barasti to meet our friends; we went straight to the lounge chairs, just like usual.













Kate is really thinking hard about, you know, life.










What is going on there....?











Kate and I before we decided shots were the best possible option. Or wait, was opening two bottles of wine when we got home the best option?

Rugby 7's... I had no idea what to it was going to be like, so in typical Dubai style, I expected nothing. It was way better than that! About 50+ of us loaded onto two school buses at 8:30 in the morning and headed out to the new Rugby stadium. We watched some Rugby, drank a bit, talked a lot, ate all kinds of terrible food and the night ended with random dancing...




















Go team DAA... Dale, Shane and Clive ready for the day...










Clive, Kim and I just getting started.













Jenny and Steph ready for the day!










Who says the photo doesn't count if you ask for it?







































Another rough day...










That's right, we're here to watch rugby.










One of the guys I work with played on one of the Dubai teams.










Becky and I watching another guy from work playing.













What is it with Jacob's Creek in Dubai?











April and Jenny, somehow day turned into night.










Jenny, Heather and I relaxing on the hill...













Apparently, we still do that...













Sad, check out how awful the stands look.













Grant, dancing the night away. Wait, what about the game?










And that's how the night ended...
