Return to Doha



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.
