Forgot to mention it, but we had a friend from Reno pop over to visit up about 2 weeks ago. Scot used to live beside us in Newmarket many moons ago and was in town. We got together and spent a day walking around Doha, taking in all the sights. We caught a few pictures of some of the more interesting parts of Doha.

We got there early on a friday, time to look around and not get trampled… We were returning for dinner later that evening, so there was time to see the crowds too

We actually ended up eating here. I forget the name of the restaurant. I’ll update it later when I remember it. It was the arabic one.

They renovated the souks a number of years ago to make them look more authentic. With the exception of the HaagenDaz sign, I think they did an awesome job.

I a pretty sure this is when Scot put his sales man hat on and was trying to convince Jen that the schellenbergs needed the new nikon d3.

Scot and Casey were fascinated that Filtrine were installed here… That guy knows A LOT about water fountains. Remarkable what you take for granted.
