Running in Dubai

Life is...sprinting across a busy highway in Dubai, your clothes so soaked in sweat they have become a second skin, to try to reach the marina in time to take a picture of the sun setting over the water.  Even though you don’t make it in time, and you’re now dripping with sweat and gasping for air and dying for a drink, the effort was well worth it.  In the middle of this hot, sticky city in this hot sticky little country, you are beautifully aware of how alive you are.  These moments, few and far between, are what motivate you to take chances, to spend money, to travel.  It’s not the tourist sites that you go to see, it’s the little things like running down the street like a maniac that you travel for.  These are the real memories.
