RED BULL AIR RACE

The Red Bull Air Race was in Abu Dhabi this past weekend. It's a flying contest where pilots fly small planes between air filled cones set in the water. Spectators watch from the beach. The festivities were held 1,300 ' from our building. Many people showed for the events. On Saturday evening they had a local Hip Hop band playing and fireworks later in the evening. We could watch the fireworks from our roof top pool area.

This coming weekend is the World of Music and Dance (WOMAD) festival. It is only held in a handful of cities around the world. It will also be on the beach outside our building. They almost have the stages set up. Sara's sister, Lacey, will be in town for the event. We are also planning a trip to Muscat, Oman the following weekend, so more pictures are on the way!

Although we are having a good adventure, we miss everyone.
