Day 36 - Finally outdoor exercise!

---

Hala! (Hi!),

I took a few pics of my day at the Corniche. Finally got to inline skating and some outdoor exercise. I have to admit, I may be rushing the outdoor exercise a wee bit. You will see from the photos that NO ONE else was around, except for a few workers and people heading to the beach. I passed ONE couple (as anxious as myself no doubt) on bicycles. I am seriously thinking of purchasing a bicycle also (although the locals (Expats) say DON'T DO IT, the drivers here are CRAZY!!). Apparently, it won't be long before the weather will cool off to a comfortable 21-25 degrees C. I can;t wait.

I made my destination the Marina Mall to watch a movie. I went from BOILING hot and sweaty, to FREEZING cold in the movie theatre....that should be good for a cold to follow shortly.

I took a couple pics in the mall for you....love the indoor rink. Although I know there is a few in Canada, who'da thought they would have one in the desert???? LOL

Hope you like the pics.....back to school tomorrow! I have a Butterball turkey breast that I am going to cook tomorrow. Wish I was there...but no too sad about it...lol.

As salamu alaykum, xoxo
(Peace be upon you)

P.S. I added a couple pics at the end of my rooftop pool and jacuzzi here....kinda small, but does the job!

A cool underpass...
...crossing the street to the Corniche

Clear path.....
...unlike Spencer Smith Park on a weekend, the people here are inside where it is much cooler!

A 'rolling' view....

There lives the Rulers of the land! Gonna take a tour of it one of these days...stay tuned for those pics!

View of Corniche...
...from the OTHER side. The Marina.

A touch of home....
....no, I didn't! It would have melted before I even got to eat it

Instead I went into the Marina Mall, watched a movie at the theatre (Eat, Pray, Love...LOVED IT!), then took a
...yes, and indoor skating rink at the mall...Neat eh? (check out the Emirate guy watching at the boards...you don't see that on Hockey Night In Canada!)

Grabbed a salad here....
...on my way home. GREAT view!

Me.....
...sweating up a storm.....a little too soon for outdoor exercise perhaps?!

Then finally home.....
...for a refreshing dip in the rooftop pool/jacuzzi at my hotel apartment. Kinda small I know, but it does the job. Had it all to myself too!!!
