So I finally reached the shopping center - and it was gorgeous! A smallish, urban shopping mall modeled after an Italian villiage - several actually. I haven't seen a 'fake' this fabulous since Las Vegas. Strangely, this town has a lot in common with Las Vegas - lot's of fabulous shopping, tons of brand new construction, right in the middle of an arid desert! Just about everything except the casinos - strictly verboten here. But they do have betting on their horse and camel races...
The food court was the one dose of rather scary reality.
