DOHA ZOO




This sleeping beauty reminds me of my cat, Tinkerbell. Tinkerbell couldn't come to Doha with us - she is living with my parents.


The Zoo is the lushest, greenest, spot we've found in Doha.






As promised, here are photos from our trip to the Doha Zoo. The Zoo is very near our house - I'll probably take Erin there again over Spring Break. Cost to get in? 2 Riyal for kids and 5 Riyal for adults (there are 3.65 Riyal in a dollar - this is not a budget buster!). We went on the kid's President's Day holiday - only a holiday for the American School so we pretty much had the place to ourselves. Next post will be photos from the Texas A&M Boot Scoot last weekend.
Interesting note - gas is cheap in Doha. So cheap the stations don't even post the price. We have a Chevy Trailblazer (SUV). Cost to fill up from completely empty - about $14.

Thanks for your comment in my Blog, Cindy. I check your blog regularly too and it is a great way to keep in touch with everyone! Especially when we are all so far apart and busy!

Yes we have cheap gas, but we don't drive much because there is nowhere to go!
