Our first day - Zayed University Class Visit

A stopover in Amsterdam airport on the way to Dubai.


(Amalfi and Catherine)













Amazing - we arrived in Dubai at 11:30pm (which is 9 hours earlier in the US),

(The airport arrival - Gillian, Andrea, Gillian, Mary, Veronika, Megan, Amalfi, Alison, Shelly, Catherine, Konika and Allison)

waited nearly two hours for our transportation and finally arrived at the Armed Forces Club in Abu Dhabi at nearly 4am! Our students were troupers, settled in and Mary and I went off to the Hilton Baynuneh - more on our first night later.


There is so much to see - the big things and the small.
We met at Zayed University for a series of classes and lunch with students, faculty and administrators. Students attended classes in communications, art & architecture and a studio arts class. Cameras, we were told, are forbidden at the University BUT we were approached by a student who wanted to take our picture, se we decided "When in Rome..."














As we left the University we were met by the Sulaiman Al-Jassim, Vice President of the University who welcomed us and posed for a photo-op all possible array of cameras.
