This is a picture of us with a local man and a falcon. Tonight we joined some new friends here for a wonderful Thanksgiving on Palm Island. We saw some people we had met before and made new friends. One new friend was Haman, the owner of this falcon. Falconry is an important tradition in Arab culture and lots of money is spent preserving the sport in UAE. So, it was a new type of Thanksgiving but certainly one filled with tradition! Our host's sons played with their rock band and did an AC DC cover so there was some good old American culture served along with the creamed corn as well.
