National Day Weekend - Formula One Boat Races

---

It's National Day Weekend her in the UAE. Four day weekend! The UAE is 39 years young. The Emirates decorate the entire cities like Christmas...decal their cars and literally hang out the car windows as they drive down the city streets.

I stayed away from most of the crazy stuff, but today I rode my bike down to the Corniche to watch the Formula One Boat Races....it was pretty cool. I have never been to a boat race before.

Enjoy the pics...only 9 more school days and I am BACK in Canada for the holidays. The countdown is on....xo
