Zekrayaat (ذكرايات / Memories)

Day 3 was quite business, business, and a bit of a coffee break. Jumeirah Erihad Towers, random chandelier One of the hangout areas at the Etihad Towers The view from where we were having coffee The lobby cafe The Fairways Restaurant, at the Westin in Abu Dhabi. That's were we had Dinner The ice cream trimmings Parking Time... We thought paying the meter was enough...well, we were wrong :) its fine time ($ 130)

Well, my first day at Abu Dhabi and already experienced: 3.5 meals, a modern art museum exhibit by local UAE artists, a walk through the Abu Dhabi Louvre ( http://louvreabudhabi.ae/ ),  visit to 3 luxury  5 star hotels, completely new set of stories about my family, visiting my brother's own company office, 4 types of coffee (including the Arabic/Gulf  style of coffee, which is very different than Turkish), and finally what is a UAE old ages tradition; a visit to a mega mall. Here are few of the highlights...

Great start of the trip…Peet’s coffee

Staying Hydrated…one bottle down, 2 more to go

No matter how far I travel, or how old I get…it is where I feel like “myself” is what I call “home”
