Things have been moving along pretty well over here. I had a great Thanksgiving. The people who run the dining facilities went all out decorating and had all kinds of food displays and so much food. The picture to the right is just the desert display.
I went downtown a few
weeks ago and had a lot of fun with a few of my co-workers. We did a lot of shopping. This picture to the left is me in the Old Souqs (market). Amazingly enough they had
a Dunkin Donuts and Baskin Robbins but they also had
a lot of venders selling things from spices to rugs.
These pictures are of the Doha skyline. Most of the skyscrapers have been built in the last few years and are largely empty. The people of Qatar have a lot of money and are building like crazy, they are hoping to build their tourism industry.
We managed to find a park that we later found out only allowed families to visit but not before we laid around for an hour on the grass. It was wonderful seeing grass for the first time in 4 months so we took of our shoes and relaxed. The weather was finally beautiful (in the high 70s).
