Memory Lane Monday

About 7 or 8 years ago, Nonna & I took 3 trips in 1. I had just returned from my mission & of course wanted to go back. She wanted to do some geneology in France. And my mom's sister, Aunt X (for Excentric) needed to go back to Dubai to fix a statue in a hotel. So, we decided to do all three in 2 months time. Here are few of my favorite moments in Dubai (one of the 7 Arab Emirates) & Oman (a place where my aunt used to live).


Yep, that red face is me. And if you doubt it...check out those ankles. It was so so so VERY hot in the Middle East. I thought I'd melt every day. And that means something coming from an Arizona girl.
This picture was taken in Oman.
Don't really remember what it was we were up to.
Patti (a friend of my aunt's) came along for the tour.

Here's the hotel & one of the many statues that my Aunt X was commissioned to do for them.
If you are thinking that that's my mother...you'd be off by about 19months.

This picture was taken in the souther tip of Oman (very close to Yemen).
These were some cliffs on the edge of the ocean.
Natural Geisers.
An older gentleman offered my mother a fair share of livestock if I would be his 3rd wife.
These are just a few of the hundreds of pictures that I took while on this trip. I've seen the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, Venice, & Paris...but I've never seen a land quite like this. Incredible! Unforgettable! Memorable!
