not your typical fish face

You may have seen this link on my facebook page. That is Gloria's account from the Dubai fish market from this past weekend. If you don't want to click on that here is my perspective on what happened.

First, Gloria asks Kate and me if either of us have any dirhams- the single coins here. As soon as she asked that I knew she wanted me to pay one of these guys to hold one of their fish for a photo op. Well I was fresh out of dirhams, but not out of luck. Some generous fisherman said we could hold one of their fish and even gave us plastic baggies so we didn't get our hands goopy. I could do that.

Then this guy decides he wants to be apart of the action and comes over to see what kind of scene he can cause with the white people that came to town.



Well a ruckus he did cause with in me when he asked ME to hold that 15ish pound foul fish with my BARE hand. Oh no he dit'ent



Living with a nearly three year old, often we talk about princesses. One of the characteristics of a princess is bravery. Well I am not shy about being a princess, so I had to step up to the plate and show YaYa how a princess can be brave.



I held that fish.


And what an experience it was. Sick!
