November 27th: Pretty Beach and Pretty Mosque

After our late night out the night before, the next day had a sloooow start. It worked out well, though, because our first stop was...

...the Ritz Carlton. Time to soak up some sun on the beach!

I wasn't about to pass up the chance to get some more tasty juice; I always like how fresh it is.

We hung out in our comfy beach chairs for a little while...

...then went in the water for a bit. We had a great view of the ferris wheel and the dropzone.

After a bit Megan had to leave to take care of a couple things, so Marcus, Mark, and I moved up to a spot closer to the water (also with a sweet view).

We ordered lunch and hung out for a bit, eating our food and watching the jumpers drifting down at the dropzone.

This was the view looking back behind where we were sitting - not bad!

After hanging out on the beach for a while longer, we packed up and made our way back to the locker rooms. After picking a time to meet up outside, we split up and got to spend some time hanging out inside. I'm not sure how the guy's locker room was set up, but mine had nice showers, a plunge pool thing, a few sauna rooms, and some really neat warm lounge chair things. I spent a good bit of time hanging out on one of those before eventually grabbing a shower and meeting the guys outside.

We went back to the house, hung out for a bit, then hopped back in the car to head to our last stop of the day.

It was time to check out the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque at night!

I remembered how pretty the mosque was when we visited during the day on our last trip...

...and it may have been even prettier at night.



We wandered all around the outside...

...then made our way inside, too.



We grabbed a couple more pictures...

...then said goodbye to the mosque and made our way back to the car.

We stopped at Tawa and had some tasty gluten-free food, then made our way back to Dubai...

...and wrapped up the evening with some wine and leftover pizza. It had been a nice low key (and very pretty) day!
