We
have been back in Doha two weeks now and are pretty much adjusted and back in
the swing of things. I have been active
with my AWA, meeting a lot of new women and reconnecting with old friends. I
have signed up for all the outings offered including a drink making class in
November, which should be fun. Today I went to Souq Waqif for the AWA monthly
lunch where we try new places. I carpooled with some ladies from the Pearl and
we went early to do some shopping. My tote
bag was full when I left the souq. The
food was pretty good and we ate on the floor.
A
few days after we arrived back to Doha, we went to Abu Dhabi. I was there for
the weekend and John stayed the week to work. I was able to go the beach and
spa and finish my book for book club. We also saw our friends from Jazz at
Lincoln Center Doha perform in Abu Dhabi, we are officially groupies now.
Stella
went to stay with a friend and her extended Italian family and got to play with
two dogs while I was in Abu Dhabi. She
came back knowing more Italian than me; luckily she still knows English
commands.
This
Thursday we are going to a Halloween party and of course on Friday we are
hosting one at our apartment. Sunday I went shopping at Mega Mart for food, and went a little over board. I just love all
the American products they offer even though they are expensive. I brought several bags of candy from home
for the party. John just has to make a trip to the alcohol store and we will be
set. Pictures to follow.
