Makin' a run to Barracuda!!

So we were told of a legal place to purchase adult beverages in the UAE (without a licence). It is a resort (really more of a motel) on the beach about an hour from where we live. They have a restaurant that served pretty good food. But the reason you "make the run to Barracuda" is for the warehouse of alcohol!

Steve of course enjoyed the foreign beers! And they had a large selection of wines sorted by country. I bought several (i.e 3 cases :) bottles of wine! A good assortment of reds and whites.

Russell and Patrick, this one is for you. ABSINTHE!! For the rest of you, who have ever had the pleasure of watching the really good/bad movie "Eurotrip" you know what this is. Absinthe is illegal in the states if sold in the proper form. It is 150 proof , 75% alcohol. It takes like black licorice and is neon green, red or black. YOU DO NOT DRINK IT STRAIGHT!!! You mix with ice cold water and it forms a cloud of smoke...sounds safe, huh? Steve drank about 3/4 cup and said it felt like he had 4 well-made 7 &7's. By the way the price you see is in dirhams not dollars!
Gethin, a friend and coworker, showed us the way and came back with plenty of wine and irish whiskey!
