Good Night From the Other Side of the World




In the nearly four-hundred posts that comprise this blog (is that even possible - although I can remember asking the same thing after three-hundred) th eone which arguably received the most positive feedback was a series of pictures I took and posted (without commentary) of the sun coming up over Port Elizabeth in South Africa. Let me post a few pictures of the sun going down last night. We're on Yas Island and the sun was setting back towards the Abu Dhabi, so it's not quite as romantic as if it were setting over the Persian Gulf itself. Still, they are nice pictures. We end up sitting on the balcony on the eighth floor every night and the heat, even after the sun goes down, is just incredible. As long as the run is going down there is a slight breeze, but when it disappears usually the breeze stops and it becomes even worse. My friends tell me that insix or seven weeks it will be like heaven. Right now it feels like an oven - and, no, it's not a dry heat.
