We started with a visit to the US Embassy in Abu Dhabi. We met with the ambassador Barbara Leaf, and some of the staff. No photos of this. http://abudhabi.usembassy.gov/
We had lunch at the Marina Mall. It has an indoor skating rink.

We drove by Ferrari World but weren’t able to go in. They have the fastest roller coaster in the world.
We got a tour of Masdar City which is planned city based on renewable energy.
The buildings are built to maximize light but minimize heat. They have a solar farm too.
