A Drive in the Country

On Friday, we decided to go for a little drive to Umm Al Quain. We left by 10 in the morning so traffic was pretty light. Umm Al Quain is about 50 kilometers from our place and it didn't take long to get there. When we checked the outside temperature on the thermometer, it read 49 degrees in the sun! On the drive home we had to wait for camels who decided to take a stroll down the highway. Then, suddenly the winds started to pick up. Even though we have a fairly big vehicle, the winds were still tossing us around a fair bit. We decided to just go home and on Saturday, our outing was to the air conditioned comfort of the new shopping mall. This one has an amusement park and a separate water play area.
