We woke up last Friday morning to
RAIN IN DUBAI!!!
And we actually had to change our plans for the day!
(We were SUPPOSED to spend the day at the beach
watching the World Parachuting Competition.)
We have NEVER had to change our plans,
due to weather, since moving to Dubai!
And we were THRILLED!
It was AMAZING driving around in the RAIN!
(Oh how the lack of something makes you appreciate it!)
We made our way over to Lan Kwai Fong (The Peking Duck)
to feast on one of our favorite lunches...
the Peking Duck!
It is located in Oud Metha near Lamcy Plaza --
an older area of Dubai.
(Obviously!)
Would you believe we needed a boat to get there!
Here, see for yourselves!
This is what happens when rain comes to Dubai!
We'd heard that when it actually
RAINS hard in Dubai
that the streets flood and the roofs leak!
But we'd never seen it first hand!
I'm posting a bunch of pictures
because I want to remember this day -- as we probably
won't see RAIN like this for another
year or two!!
(Literally!)
Once we made it inside the restaurant,
we enjoyed the tacky Christmas decorations,
and watched the water come closer and closer
to the restaurant door.
But most of all, we thoroughly enjoyed
the awesome
Peking Duck lunch that was served!
Lan Kwai Fong -- it may not be pretty,
but IT IS DELICIOUS!
After lunch, John and I drove around Dubai
and savored
each and every single solitary
RAIN DROP!
RAIN, RAIN, RAIN IN DUBAI!*!
