John and I frequently drive over to the Shangri La Hotel and drink tea in the grand lobby. It is fun to get dressed up and experience the grandness of the hotel. It is similar to the Emirates Palace but not quite as extravagant and not nearly as big. We usually walk down to the "souk" (the market with upscale stores) and buy John some dates. The Arabs like dates very much and you can get all kinds of varieties to satisfy your taste buds.
