Poor Abby arrived with a bad cold and stomach ache. Sick puppy but what a trooper, she hung in there. Our first trip out was to Jebel Hafeet in Al Ain. Absolutely beautiful day. Nice temps and all sunshine. A mountain in the desert with great views. We took along a plastic puke bag and off we went.

My poor baby girl enjoying the outlook

This is a neat spot in the UAE. There is a hotel and a palace on the mountain plus the parking viewing area.

Whilst there some of the guys broke out in song and dance. John was impressed with their beat.

So we enjoyed our trip that day and the views were stunning. Not a bad way to spend the day and a nice 2 hour drive from Abu Dhabi.

Thanks and more to come… oh and by the way these pics were taken with our “good” camera. They were too big to download and apparently show up small when compressed. Oh well I’ll get it figured out.
