Even though February is a short a month, we packed a lot into it this year. John's parents came to visit and we showed them Doha, Dubai and Abu Dhabi. I thought this time I would do a pictorial blog, since a picture is worth a thousand words, it will cut down on my typing (and your reading.) Before the Ezzos came I went to a chocolate workshop, here I am making pasta with cocoa in the dough.

| We went to our favorite place in Doha for John's Birthday, Jazz at Lincoln Center at the St Regis. The band sang happy birthday to him! We also celebrated at Friday Brunch and Saturday we made Ezzo Sauce. |

Feb. 11 was National Sport Day and John's company participated in a bowling event, coming in 6th place, then we went to watch Women's Tennis. I spent National Sport Day watching sports, oh well.

We visited the Museum of Islamic Art, had Tea at the Ritz then it was off to Dubai and Abu Dhabi where we went to the Burj Khalifa, the worlds tallest building. The observation floor is on the 124th floor and we also had drinks on the 122nd floor before dinner at the Burj Al Arab, the only 7 star hotel.
View of the Dubai Mall and the Address Hotel, where we stayed.We all did some shopping at the mall, next time we agreed to bring an empty suitcase with us! This picture is from the restroom on the 122nd floor.
In Abu Dhabi, John had some meetings and soon will be cleaning the outside of Etihad Towers which has a hotel (we stayed in) apartments, retail, restaurants and offices. We also visited the Grand Mosque.
Back in Doha, we went with the AWA to visit Al Zubarah Fort and Archaeology site in the northwest corner of the country, it only took an hour to cross the country. We also attended the Qatar Motor show, much smaller than Detroit's but fun to look at the expensive cars and the feel at home seeing the
Big Three on display. I also spent plenty of time this month eating out and now I am on a diet, swimsuit season is around the corner (maybe a little sooner here than at home.)
