As Kristin touched down on before in Boo's corner, we were treated to a feast during our Dubai press trip at Local House restaurant. One huge detail involved in this feast not lost on its participants was the menu offerings - everything, except the hummus, included camel meat. There were camel burgers, camel milkshakes, camel steak melt sandwiches, camel meatballs, and camel milk. If an award were given out for camel consumption and the contest included Kristin and I, then Kristin bested me on all counts. She ate her burger like a champion, washing it down with a strawberry camel milkshake, after which, in a brazen display of camel madness, she also pounded a small glass of salty camel milk. Yea, her stomach didn't fare so well. While I was given a disinterested tour of Dubai's souqs (markets), museums, and waterways by a Pakistani businessman, Kristin sped away with our expert driver and friend, Mr. Mujeev.
She would find solace in our new hotel - Zabeel Saray.
