Celebrating a nation

The celebration of this nation has begun: the jet airplane doing its acrobatics prove it!  When you see the planes fly straight up in the sky then spiral down, it’s quite the site to enjoy. Those pilots are truly exceptional; there is a very small margin for error.

The seven Emirates  will celebrate its 43rd year as a united nation on December 2nd this year. The parties, decorations and events have started!

Only two days are left for the Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix taking place at Yas Island! This amazing car race  takes place this weekend followed by live concert performances by Arabian and American musical artists. My friend Rosalind gifted us tickets to the opening day race and I am very excited.

Many buildings are unfurling enormous flags from their roofs. We will hang our flags from our apartment windows.

Revelers are affixing stickers, decals, jewels and metallic paint to their vehicles as well.

Considering how much this nation has accomplished in only 43 years is astounding and outstanding. The logo below is the seven Sheikhs walking together under the flag of the country.

Stay tuned for more details and photos. Let the FUN begin!!

Aloha,

Denise
