Working Stiffs

Lately we have both been traveling to Dubai for work. I have been at the Ministry of Education assisting with the pilot of a new web portal they will use for all of the schools in the country. Danica just reurned from a week of preparation to train local teaching staff in literacy teaching methods. We were able to see the Gold Souk or market one night. (Sorry, forgot the camera!)Dubai is about an hour from Ras Al Khaimah if the traffic is good. Not unlike driving into Chicago from Libertyville except you watch for camels instead of deer-seriously! The weather is just beginning to "cool" as the days shorten so people will begin spending time outside. Often they will pull off the highway into the desert to enjoy the sand, quiet, and darkness! But not too far! The desert area is nothing to fool with and the people who live here know it!
