Episode047: When you kill one bird with two stones

Episode047 covers our recent travels to the UAE. Our purpose to visit was twofold: one, to visit our good friends, and two, run Jason’s first race ever! Since the weather is much cooler in the ‘winter’ months, a desert safari was also in order! We also took a little 2 day side trip to Abu Dhabi which is the first time both Jason and I have explored the UAE outside of Dubai. Did you know there was a second Louvre???
