Today we started our day out at Lily Pond for manicures & pedicures while the guys headed to the Dubai Mall. Jill said it was one of the best mani & pedis she has ever had! It was fun to just sit and chat! Jon and Steve walked the mall and took Fayth to the Discovery center. They saw penguins, sea otters, sharks, king crabs, jellyfish, sea horses etc. Steve really enjoyed the massive tank with tons of sharks & fishes. Then we all met up at the mall for lunch. I took Jill by the newest addition to the mall, THE DIVERS, there are two rounded walls with waterfalls and these silver divers are "diving" down the wall. It's pretty neat. We ate at the USA chain, Ruby Tuesday's! Kinda funny...they come all this way and we go to Ruby Tuesday's. After lunch, Jon walked back with Fayth and the three of us cabbed to "Old Dubai"... we shopped the bargains, I got two skirts and a hat for 16.22 US and Steve bought a magnet!! Whoopee...
Then we took an abra boat across the creek to the spice & gold souk. We had a ton of fun and laughed a lot. They found it so interesting and thought it was more like what they envisioned the "MIDDLE EAST" to be. Not, the area we live in and the hopping downtown Burj Dubai!! Jill was lucky enough with the bargaining skills of her friend, Suzanne, to score a beautiful pair of solitaire diamond studs!! As Steve said, "Now she has more than ONE stud!" He He He!! Samantha also scored a pair of pretty pearl earrings which happen to be her birthstone. Five hours later, we cabbed home, had pizzas and red wine for dinner, and fell OVER!! Today is the BIG DUBAI WORLD CUP...stay tuned...I'm sure the pictures of this "Fashion event of the year" are going to be amazing!
