ABC WEDNESDAY "Z" is for "zaroon"

Bibi is never at a loss for admirers, so it wasn't a surprise when these two fellow from Dubai called for her to come over.  Being the attention seeker she is, she obliged.

Both fellow were visiting Belgrade for a few days, and were surprised to learn I'd just passed through Dubai.

I was at a loss for a Z today, so I googled 'Arabic words that begin with Z' and came up with 'zaroon', which means 'visitor'.  I love Google...

You are smart and creative. Must be all the zarooning you do! Cute shot. Don't much like Dubai, though.
