A Taste of Dubai
Wow....we're here in Dubai. It is 12:30 am. The flight was uneventful and smooth. The girls were delightful, and super easy. How could they not be, considering the unlimited screen time with games, music and movies all to themselves?? The weather is hot and humid, and so beautiful tonight. Loving the palm trees and the bath-like temperature of the Gulf...We've just spent a wonderful evening with Dave and Sandra Archer and their three sweeties. They met us at the hotel and Dave found a wonderful tour guide to give us a snapshot of Dubai in about three hours. Such a massive display of wealth and creativity in the buildings and designs. Over the top, but so neat to see...It was great to connect with friends, and now we hope to fall into bed for around five hours before we embark on leg two of the journey! Addis Ababa, here we come....What a contrast that will be...Miss you A, L, and H....hugs and love to our family and friends as well.

ReplyDeleteHi folks. I've enjoyed reading all aspects of your journey to Zake, and hope and pray that you will continue to be amazed at the way God will be working out all of the details for Zake to come home. Adoption holds a special place in my heart as well! Thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
