Souq Visit

Yeah, my partners in crime did leave yesterday. It's just that I had a few more fun pics to share of our souq waqif visit from their last night. Remember, we went there right after that fine cuisine at The Ponderosa? The night time atmosphere at the souqs never ceases to energize me. Not even the parking (or lack of) can take away from the experience. As we made our way through the maze of shops, we came upon "animal farm". Kristi begged for one of the Persian kittens, but I gave her a ditty from my "Lines that Come in Useful for Children" book (don't google that...I never actually wrote it) and said, "maybe next time, dear". She and Kayla played with every creature around, while all I could think of was show me the hand sanitizer. Cats are the limit to my call of the wild. We moved on to something I didn't mind touching...jewelry. The girls each had a really cool bracelet handmade right before their eyes to take home as a souvenir. Neither one of them can buy bangle bracelets because they are way too big for their small hands. No problem as the expert custom fit each of them. The entertainment value of watching the skilled jeweler do his thing was well worth the price of the bracelets.

P.S. They texted me as soon as they landed and are safe and sound in Austin.
