Happy New Year!!!

So for New Year's Eve, Anna and I decided to do a weekend at the Kempinski, the 5-star resort here in Djibouti.  It was nice to bring in the new year with a nice shower, comfortable bed, massage, pedicure and lounging by the pool.

Here is our room.

So since the restaurants were closed, the only option was to go to the big New Year's Eve Celebration they were having outside.  And what a great idea it was!  There was every type of food imaginable.

Anna and I were early.

There was a band.

There were flame throwers and here is a Turkish dancer that did this beautiful performance with multicolored baskets and a skirt.

 It got pretty packed really soon.

And we partied in the new year!!!

Happy 2011!!!!!!!
