    Seeing the Sights in Doha

    April 2, 2022 in Qatar ⋅ ☀️ 34 °C

    Having a great time in Doha, Qatar. After a couple days of hashing, I was invited to join several hashers for a BBQ on the beach up north of the city. Watched the very shallow tide of Arabian Gulf roll in while enjoying several cuts of meat.

    Then on Saturday evening, we enjoyed a fabulous Yemenis’ dinner in Souq Waqif. The Souq is full of FIFA World Cup exhibits, and the whole city was full of lights. Made for a great sightseeing wander.

    Was on my way to the airport today, and picked up my COVID test . . . and alas, after 2 years and 23 countries of clear sailing, I popped positive. I never would have known if I was not flying out. No symptoms, feel great, but now in quarantine until I get a negative test. Must be a new strain . . . and hopefully will not last long. Only two weeks until heading to the Caribbean, so better pass quickly.
