Like I was saying before, last weekend was non-stop! On Saturday, lots of people from work headed out on a dhow to help celebrate a coworker's birthday! A dhow is a traditional Arab sailing vessel. In Doha, you can rent these big wooden boats for the day and enjoy some time on the Persian Gulf. It was a beautiful day! We had great food and great company. All in all, a great day for a boat ride!

| Ready to shove off and head out into the big water! |
 |
| After we were out near an island, the boat stopped and some of us took the plunge! |
 |
| Who was that? |
 |
| There she is! I think I was complaining about the cold water... |
 |
| Alli, Kristin, and Abbie. |
 |
| Enjoying the day with great friends! |
 |
| The neighboring dhow. |
 |
| Qatari flag. |
 |
| Lots of smiles going around... |
 |
| You can somewhat see the Doha skyline through the sand. It was a windy day! |
 |
| Krista, Sanam, and Alli. |
 |
| Lauren, Klara, and Kari. |
 |
| Starting to head back to Doha. |
 |
| More of the sandy skyline! |
 |
| It started to get a bit chilly. |
 |
| Sanam and I. I get to go to her wedding in Thailand! :) |
 |
| I enjoy that view. Cheers! |
wow looks like such a great time. I want to go on the wooden ship too when I come for a visit!
