A visit from Tyler and Sara!

This last week was WAY TOO SHORT! Ty and Sara arrived on Sat. night and left us Thurs. afternoon. They really should have stayed at least another week, but we definitely made the most of it while they were here. We did the little tour around the city, visited the old souk and the new Pearl Island that they are building here. There was a trip to the lovely fish market in town as well as the one right on the water where the boats come in. We went to the camel racetrack, didn't see a race but watched them training and Tyler and Daudi got to ride one. Then the boys met a local Qatari man who trains hunting falcons and got us invited out to watch and stay for a traditional meal with them afterwards. John Watt and Lloyd Kneesch came over from Dubai for the weekend and Andre Martoni (a friend from Brazil who works in Dubai) came as well just overnight to see Tyler and Sara. So, it was super busy, but so much fun. We are exhausted from all the late nights and laughs, and so very very glad they came :0)

I have to give Tyler the credit for these pictures because he took most of them.


This is jet lag at its most glamorous :0)

Aunty Sara

....and here is our beautiful city, Doha


Would you think it could be home to such a place as THIS?? The boys made a little visit to the fish market one morning, so here is the fish they bought being cleaned. Does it look like something you'd want to eat for supper? :0)
