A blog about what daily life was really like in the Middle East and the daily ramblings of an ex-pat mum. That's how I started the blog. We are now home, so I'm just going to continue with life here. I am a deeply committed Christian. I love to teach about and share my faith so you'll see some of that on the blog as well. Got a comment? Please feel to comment at the end of a post. May our Creator's peace be upon you.

Palm Video


Hi folks! I can't post the video. Blogger is not allowing my to finish the upload. My friend found it very hard to record because the fireworks went off faster than the camera could 'capture' them. I know the camera won't do this justice, but it's worth a try. (Sorry you can't see it!!!)

The fireworks show went on for about 45 minutes (Gulf News said 15, but I've heard closer to 45 over all). At the very beginning, I am told, that the fireworks totally covered the crescent of the Palm and were going off all along the new monorail line done the center of the spine/trunk. There were a few points where they were going off primarily at the Atlantis hotel. But, the rest of the time, the crescent was 'ablaze.' Cool.

Here's the Gulf News' take on the whole thing. These snaps focus on the Hotel and not the Crescent. http://www.gulfnews.com/gngalleries/galleries/10261456.html


I've posted a very blurry picture instead.
