JoPo If you've been through a Doha summer before, you know it gets better! Today, I felt a shift in energy...humidity suddenly DOWN! Yea! Only 34! Downright COOL! As I speak, I hear the sound of children in the pool which is a harbinger of Spring... I saw two francolins today! Do you know what a francolin is? Google it! Great creature. And you can tame them to feed out of your hand!
I know what it is like to say goodbye to friends. From time to time, I think expats experience this city as a place of goodbyes. It is , after all, a transient place to be. Friends come and go. If they are good friends you will always be in contact with them through the wonders of the internet.
But it is also a city of HELLOS AND MARHABA! There will be many future friends who are new to Doha and would be thrilled to have someone give them a helping hand, showing them some of the many attractions of this quirky, vibrant city: the souk; Katara; the vegetable market; the little owls in the graveyard (ha ha...do you know about them?) It will be rewarding to see your new companion's eyes light up with wonder !
This is a land of hope and dreams, and these dreams are coming into fruition. So many possibilities! Keep the faith!
