Dubai farewell

ok, so the last few days here have been great. we did some last minute shopping and i bought a bunch more scarves for the concert. a guy from one of the stores who thought i was half-arab asked for my email address. he's the one who proposed to me. i think he's going to make a bid soon on the dowry. we went to church this morning, and then spent the afternoon at the beach. we justified it because we are going to church all over again in 2 days. we leave here in about 20 minutes for the airport, and fly out at 215am... gross. overall this trip has been great. i'm not going to lie though when i say i'm ready to come home for a rest. i can't believe how much we've done on this trip, and there's really not anything else left for us to do. i'm very grateful for the chance that i've had to go on this trip.. it has definitely opened my eyes to the world more, and i have a new found appreciation for lebanese food, especially hummous. i'm going to start buying it all the time now. i'll call as soon as a get home to let you know i've made it. we don't foresee any problems getting home though. and i have a full suitcase full of extra stuff i've bought. i may or may not have purchased 34 scarves on this trip. don't judge too much. if anyone asks, they were all for the sugar beats. mom, if you ever want to go on a shopping trip, i suggest the middle east, the prices over here are amazing.....probably a quarter of the price in canada. anyways, i'll call when i get home. talk to you soon. love bonnie.
