Pics from Doha





It's the weekend again. Yesterday, Friday, which is the first day of the weekend here, I attended a concert of the Doha Symphony/Doha Singers. The music was wonderful, and I think I would like to join the Doha Singers next fall when I return. They had an interesting program of everthing from Palestrina to Steven Foster. It was very enjoyable. This morning, Chas and I caught a cab over to the Sheraton Doha where we had a great breakfast and then wandered around the hotel taking pictures. Even made it up to the penthouse restaurant and took pics up there. It is a little hard to see from the photos, but the place is build like a hollow pyramid, and the restaurants are in the centre, looking up about fifteen floors to the top. All very posh, a bit too expensive to come very often, but a great place to visit. Then we walked to the City Centre taking photos along the way. It was getting terribly hot by this time (mid forties, C)so we were glad to get to the mall. We wandered around there for a couple of hours, picked up the tailor made shirts we had ordered a couple of weeks ago, and finally caught a cab back to the apartment. All-in-all it has been a great day.
