I took quite a few photos this long holiday weekend, so let's jump right in.
Friday we went over to the Dubai Marina where I saw a 2006 Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder. Now, I don't know much about cars, but when you see a bright yellow convertable Lamborghini, well, you can only assume that the driver wants to be noticed.
Interesting fun fact? The engine for the new Volkswagen Jetta (2005+) is baed on the V10 engine from the Lamborghini Gallardo.
I also love me some Jetta. So cool, with out the pretention of a Lamborghini.
Wikipedia also told me that the Gallardo is considered the "entry-level" Lamborghini. Dude, now I so want to meet this car's owner and be like, "Oh, I see you have the entry-level Lamborghini. That's so cute."
Saturday was National Day - the 35th anniversary of the establishment of the United Arab Emirates.
But Saturday was also crazy-rainy. I've told you about some rain in the past, but that was like sprinkles. Saturday at 4 am I woke up it was raining so hard outside.
The street behind our apartment has no drainage whatsoever, so by mid-morning it was flooded. The rain slowed in the afternoon, so I went out to get some photos.
It was so bad cars were leaving a wake!
Here we are looking down towards the Dubai Marina construction. It was pretty foggy at points, too.
We also had a third Thanksgiving this weekend. I'm so spoiled now, when we move back to the states I'll say, "What, only one turkey?!"
Then yesterday was the work holiday for National Day. I took a few more photos out and about, it wasn't rainy, but the clouds were intense.
They're up over at my Flickr Gallery. Check them out if you have some time.
