Things to do in Doha when your...

well not dead but that was a good movie. It's February break and we decided to stay here and explore the country- Just what can you get up to in Doha with a few days in hand? From camping to Forts we tried to find out- read on... 

It's a mirage! On the way to camping you drive past an old film set- very cool and very in the middle of nowhere. That level of randomness always pleases me.

This is Fred- we are looking after our neighbors dog and I must say it is nice to go camping with a hound. Good boy fred.

We went to the beach of Zikreet with our neighbor and their friends- Using the mullet as your clue- can you guess what nationality they are?

Luckily it wasn't windy- but just in case we tied the tent to the trusty CRV- and to think the guy in Jordan called it a woman's car- that thing is pure rugged baby!

Lisa has been our culinary daredevil- this is not just a photo-op- she ate that pepper!

we- found another cool park in doha- this one is right next to all the crazy skyscrapers- I think the architects in this town are like "oh yeah, you think thats a crazy building? check this out.."

Only in Qatar would they rebuild the deathstar. (Luca is shooting stormtroopers by the way)

Behold: the Narwhal tusk and the eye of sauron buildings

Birthday Bacon- oh what a start to my 40th birthday!

Notes on the Zubara fort: This is the only cool part of the Zubara fort- trust me not that exciting.

"Hey Wilder I put some candy in the cannon you should grab it!" Oh please oh please oh please

Either the tower is leaning, my left foot is longer than my right, or Wilder was being artsy while she took this.

Little mister sunshine

Hard to see but that is a man attached to that kite- totally crazy- kiteboarding- just one more thing you can do in Qatar

Of course to kiteboard you need a beach that is really windy- here is that beach- the stinging sands of Fuwairret- they even stung my hairy legs!
