Vacon

Of course I'm going to start my blog talking about food. It just wouldn't be me if I didn't. Vacon is a term my good friend coined when I shared with her that this morning Michael and I ate Veal Bacon for breakfast. Looks like bacon- tastes like vacon and believe it or not, it does the trick.

Yes- we are now in Abu Dhabi and Atlanta, Georgia feels far away. By popular request, I am starting this blog and here comes my disclosure. I will never claim to be an expert on this city, country or culture nor would I want you to think that my experiences would be your experiences if you came. As in- you may not get to try Vacon and more importantly you may not feel what I feel or think what I think while I am here. I am worried about representing this place for you and feel a sense of responsibility. What you will read are MY thoughts, opinions, feelings, and experiences that should by no means be the end all be all on Abu Dhabi. If you happen to compare notes with others, please share so all of us can benefit from different perspectives.

We have stayed around our area these past couple of days. It has taken a while to recover from the trip and the time difference. Last week I found myself sleeping all day and staying up all night. It was great for chatting with friends (those of you who have gotten on Skype- nudge, nudge) but it did not make for good exploring. Now I am even sleeping through the 4:30 am prayer call from the nearby mosque!

Since we are taking lots of pictures, I have created a Web Album. Click on the album to view a larger version of the photos and their captions. I think you can even order prints Mama J! :)
