Some reasons to love Qatar
Sorry about the recent photo-centric posts. I don't have time to write anything anymore!
These are pics from my trip to Qatar in 2004. The first one is of me, after the US Army had outfitted me for the trip. Hm... Maybe I was supposed to go to Korea instead?
Anyway, I sure do miss working 18 hour days. Seven days a week. And sleeping in tents. On 110 degree nights. With 200 snoring guys....
Prepared for... the desert?

The waterfront - fish market

Three restaurants at the waterfront

Middle-class housing

A country built with TCNs

Water, water everywhere...

...not a drop to drink

Gorgeous buildings being constructed everywhere you turn

Strolling the waterfront

I loved the contrasts of a power walk in an abaya/hijab with nike sneakers

No sneakers for you

Kids are kids, everywhere

More construction

Slight sandstorm

New Mosque

Good fences make good neighbors

Waterfront restaurant

McMansion (truly)

Poured concrete construction for everything

Hm.. this looks oddly familiar

Stare contest - NOW

Non-descript highway

Pottery was dirt cheap

My co-worker shopping the souks, very inconspicuously

Where's the "No comments-Isn't that sad?" You left the frownie all by himself? No wonder he's frownie.
Great pix. And that camo habib you are wearing? Hot.
Yes it was hot. In fact, I was sweating my kevlar-covered b@!!$ off.....
Great pics - I wonder what it looks like now.
Great pics- I've never traveled anywhere so it is nice to live vicariously through my friends.
Hello??? Jhonni? Uh, WE'VE travelled to Delaware for tattoos. And I do believe we declared the 87 beach blocks as a trip to hell and back, n'est pas? So, honey, you are widely travelled.
Now that's one thing I haven't done yet - tattoo. Hmmmmm.
