Around Doha







Just a few pics from our world.

First at left is our street this morning. Foggy and misty - we were thinking (hoping) it might rain! No such luck, couple of hours later the mist had burned off and we were back to warm and sunny (which isn't bad, don't get me wrong, it's just that we haven't experienced rain since we left the US in mid-August). Next is a crepe maker at the old Souq in Doha. His menu includes (at least) cheese, honey and egg. The crepes were good! Wish I could have gotten more photos from the Souq. Muslims can be sensitive to having their photos taken (I asked this gentleman's permission), and it was night, with a flash, so couldn't surreptiously take photos. Will have to go back in the daytime. Finally a crosswalk sign on the Corniche (what we would call Doha Bay). Interesting figure - given the national dress could be male or female! If you click on the photo to enlarge you can see the oyster and pearl in the background.

Hope all is well on your side of the world.
