Trying to get packed up for the remainder of our trip in the desert of UAE. We have a short flight tomorrow morning to Abu Dhabi.
I have to admit I'm not ready to leave Doha. I really love it here and the time has gone way too fast! The last 4 days since I posted have been really fun with a variety of activities including boat rides, meeting Betsy's friends, amazing food, the souq, a mosque and some down time, in which I devoured a book of Betsy's called The Girls of Riyadh. I'll do some posts when we get back...for now I'll leave you with a one photo of what we did just a couple hours ago...
Well, we didn't technically do it. The girls of the 'Hilton Saloon' did it (Saloon meaning Salon and it was definitely not a Hilton), a building with no windows and sign on the front door saying "NO MENS ALLOWED". A place for women to uncover themselves, sit back, and take in the fumes of mass amounts of henna. So fun.
