And yes, President Bush arrives today in Abu Dhabi. It rained this morning, which is very unusual; I hope the weather improves so the president can get a real idea of how beautiful this country is.<BR/>We watched the run-up to the New Hampshire primary on tv here, especially M and Joe, our eldest. We remembered how much we enjoyed seeing a lot of the candidates in person (in NH) before the last election - it made all of us miss NH. <BR/>Warm Regards,<BR/>F.Frances Gunnisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05123786746948232271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2850425236602015299.post-26745630064457962132008-01-12T16:45:00.000+04:002008-01-12T16:45:00.000+04:00Hello Francis,I am enjoying reading your blog entr...Hello Francis,<BR/>I am enjoying reading your blog entries and learning about the culture in which you and your family are living. I find it utterly fascinating and beautiful. Your descriptions are so real and the pictures are incredible! This latest one with the dancing spheres is a mesmerizing feast for the eyes! Was that area built specifically for the "Global Village" or has it always been there?<BR/><BR/>Are you in an area that would be affected by the visiting US President? We are now finished with the Primary here in Concord and the candidate signs that littered the streets on Wed. morning have been collected and disposed of. It always feels so empty for the first few days following voting day..... no minor traffic jams, no more television crews on Main St. and evenings are free of ringing telephones with candidate volunteers asking for support!<BR/>All the best to you and your family!<BR/>Joellenjoellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02378965400445687421noreply@blogger.com
