Dubai

---

Wow, so we are REALLY bad at updating this!! We have traveled to four different countries since our last post, and got married, got new jobs, and moved to Dubai. So I guess we have been pretty busy! We will try our best to fill in the gaps between now and then. In the meantime, hopefully these brief snippets & pics will help tide you over.

Shopping for Arabic lanterns, pashminas, spices & tapestries in the outdoor souks by the creek
