A morning in Deira

We visiting most of the souks in the old part of town this morning - fish, fruit and veggie, spice, old, and gold. We had a great day! Bought some apples and cinnamin to bake and apple pie. Bought a hood for my camera. Also got some nuts, scarves, beads and a few other random things. Good family times in Dubai!
