Snow in Dubai

Did you ever do something that you never in your life expected you would do? Well, that's just what happened last night for me when I visited Ski Dubai. You heard it right - Ski Dubai. Yep, it seems the ruling sheik is so keen on turning Dubai in a tourist mecca that he has built an indoor ski park complete with ice sculptures, fake snow, snow board trail, ski trail and tubing run. They even have smaller runs for the kids. It was certainly interesting to see all of these people in traditional Arab dress trying to negotiate the slopes. I have several pictures to post here, but really the best one was one the professional took of me as I was tubing down the slope. I'll have to see if I can get it scanned when I go to the office tomorrow, so you can see it. I don't guess I ever in my wildest dreams considered that I might be snow tubing in Dubai in the middle of the summer.

This morning I got up very early and got on the plane for the next leg of my journey. I've made it to Cape Town and it's rainy and cold. I met up with all of the participants in my training session and we've had a nice dinner. Tomorrow will be a very full day of training, so hopefully I'll be able to get some sleep tonight.

Thanks again for all of the prayers that I know are being said on my behalf. I'm praying for all of you too!
