Dubai Day 2

Today we took a city tour. Thankfully we saw the buildings on a sunny day last week, because we are in the worst conditions in a decade for the sand. The visibility has been extremely bad for a week, and will last several more days. So disappointing not to see the fabulous architecture. We went to the spice souk (market) and gold souk.  Jamai bought a beautiful topaz ring! We rode an abra (boat taxi) across the Creek, and saw the dhows. The window washers were out today cleaning the skyscrapers and the HUGE screen at the Meydan racetrack. We will go out this evening to see the fountain and laser lights - the brightest lights on earth and can be seen from outer space! I'll wave to the astronauts!
