Thanksgiving in Abu Dhabi

The holidays were hard being away from our family.
But we had a big Thanksgiving with the American family's from Dad's
work. We also had joining us Australians, Scot's, French, New Zealand
and Pakistani.

We did not take many photos so here is a little view from the kitchen.

Dragon Boat Races

"A dragon boat or "dragonboat" is a very long and narrow human-powered boat now used in the team paddling sport of dragon boat racing which originated in China in pre-Christian times." Taken from Wikipedia

One weekend in November we went to support Mark's company Abu Dhabi MAR participating in the Dragon Boat Races.

They won all of their heats and came in third in the finials.
