| Jebel Hafeet from the foot of the mountain! |
Friday Rebecca and I journeyed up Jebel Hafeet. We stopped first at the park at the bottom of the mountain. This mountain is used as a guide point in Al Ain. If it is on your right you are heading into town. If it is on your left you are on your way to Abu Dhabi. At night the roads are lit and it looks beautiful, but during the day no roads are visible
You probably notice that the park is so green. There is also a man-made water feature with fish and a fountain. The water comes from the underlying springs and they have put in a sprinkler system to make it even greener. My Macbook Pro does a great job at enhancing pictures, as well!
We moved up the mountain and our views were breathtaking! Scroll down to see more pictures!

The entrance to the park - very green!

| My favorite picture! Do you see a bear's head to the bottom left? |

| We think this is a hotel under construction |

Hey Mary Ellen!
ReplyDeleteLoved reading your newsy blog about your days teaching.
Your photos of your field trips are very pretty. So glad that you
Can sightsee. Your 4th grade sounds exciting and so brave of you to jumP into
It. Where do we send the books and what is the best way?
King George has had its first taste of fall temps with 50 degrees!
The annual Fall Festival is next weekend.
We surely miss you at St. Paul's!
Take good care.
