Staycation Days 2,3 and 4

Pat at the Corniche

Day 2(Sunday)  was a none too exciting day - but relaxing all the same.  We went to see The Hunger Games but the website misrepresented the times (big surprise!!!) so we ended up seeing John Carter - Jacob and his friend Annas loved it, but I thought it was a bit long and drawn out.  


Day 3(Monday) we ventured around Al Ain - mostly the downtown area to check out some of the small shops.  We were also invited to be "guests" at the trial opening for Fudrucker's Restaurant.  We were invited to try out the menu during the lunch hours and  it was free provided we give them feedback.  Everything was terrific and we had a great time!

Day 4(Tuesday) we ventured into Abu Dhabi for a day trip.  We walked along the Cornish - the beach walkway- and the water was SO blue!  We then went to visit the Grand Mosque for what we thought was a 4:30 tour.  The website was not correct (again???) so we had to wait until after the 3rd call to prayer and then we had a tour at 5pm.  We learned so much from Ahmed, our tour guide!  Here is the site if you want to check it out:     http://www.szgmc.ae/
We also visited an authentic arabic restaurant and had a great meal.  

What????  Hummus AGAIN????
