Joe's School (ex-Travel) Diary

This blog is a mish-mash of experiences that I have had since its inception. Orignally, it allowed me to stay in communication while overseas summer 2006 with family and friends. Now it survives as just a pulse of what happening with me and since I am back in school full time now, there isn't as much travel. Still, read, laugh, share, comment, suggest and give me the link to your blog so I can check it out. Thanks For Reading, Joe Dumesnil

Pics from Dubai Trip - 6.13-6.15

Photo from the place where we were staying, looking at the Burj Al Arab.



They had hand painted camel statues all over the property.


The 3 most recent Sheiks for UAE: Left to Right: Current Sheik of Dubai, Late Sheik of Dubai with the vision it currently lives out, Sheik that resides over UAE. You see these 3 pictures everywhere, from billboards to behing the entry way of every business or hotel.


Photo taken from the Madinat looking over the Arab motif resort at the Burj Al Arab.



This is a photo of me in front the glass wall at Mall of the Emirates separating the shopping from the skiing. Yes skiing, they have an indoor ski slope to ski on here, even though it is at least 105 degree outside when this was taken.

More to come tomorrow.
