Welcome to Abu Dhabi

It's good to be on the road and blogging again. Had previously been as far east as Israel and Kenya so this is also a new personal record for traveling east.

View from the Intercontintal Hotel. Note that there are almost no sharp edges or corners on the buildings.

More to come but wanted to get a first post up!
