Hillary's Adventures in Doha

It was great to have a wonderful friend visit last weekend.  Hillary and I spent a year together in Peace Corps Honduras.  She finished in August of 2010 and since then has been traveling around Southeast Asia.  I was lucky enough to make her list of stops.  She had to stop in Doha on her way to England and decided to extend the layover.  We had a grand time bouncing around Doha and enjoying the wonderful weather!  Here are some shots of our adventures.  As always, I had difficulty picking out which pictures to post...

A lovely night at the souq.

One of the restaurants at the souq.

Look at all the choices...

Hillary enjoyed the pet section of the souq.  I tend to avoid it.

After all of our shopping we enjoyed a great dinner at the Lebanese restaurant.

Hillary was nice enough to give me her pictures.  She got some shots that I normally don't think to take.  Fanta in Arabic!

I took Hillary on a mini tour of my school.

Unlike me, Hillary is not afraid to talk to strangers and found a very nice man to take our photo!

The big pearl on the Corniche.

Fancy mall at the Pearl.

Inside Villagio mall.  Let's take a ride on the gondola.

The flowers are so amazing along the Corniche right now.

Happy to be in Doha!

We head back to the souq for a little more shopping.

Always lots to see...

Thanks for a great weekend Hillary!
