My Day in Doha


I went to the mall to buy a change of clothes, it was pretty nice also. At the bottom was an ice skating rink where I observed a young Arab girl in covered attire doing her best "Peggy Flemming". The crowd was very multicultural but the mall still had Starbucks, Pizza Hut, Baskin Robbins, etc. I also heard the "call to prayer" from the tower. My room came equiped with a Koran and a marker to show which direction to pray.

I layed down to take a nap and my bed was like a cloud! It got dark around 6pm so I went outside a took this shot of the Hotel. I am going to dinner and get up early so next time you will hear from me in Africa.
