Ive been looking forward to the weather here since it started getting cold in Jordan. Its like the springtime in Arizona. Not much to say about Dubai. They have more money than they know what to do with. I wish they would invest in sidewalks. Its nearly impossible to get around if you dont have a car. Dubai was ok, but I dont really like big cities. I was able to get a new camera, which put a little dent in my budget but it was worth it. Its a Panasonic SLR, not the newest model but its still pretty nice. My pictures should start looking better. And it has a 12x zoom, so I wont be eaten by any lions in Africa.
