Hot

Humid

That describes the weather this past week on Qatar It is about 90 when we go to work at 0700 AM each day. By noon it is over 110. The last couple of days the humidity is starting to get worse. The locals say that is the only difference between now and summer, it does not get any hotter, but the humidity gets worse! UGH!

Talking to one of the plant guys about the weather. He said last year in the plant it hit 150 one day!! It was so hot the workers work 15 min and take a break for 45 min. It was so hot that a part of the electronics of the overhead crane in the plant actually melted! Now that is hot.

Been keeping in touch with Queen Angela using Skype. Skype is amazing! Free video calls to Angela everyday, the boys about once per week. It is easy so if you have friends and family out of town, i would suggest you download it on your computer. Not the same as being together, but is the next best thing, if I could only use it to hold her!

Missed seeing the family on Memorial Day, but video chatted with some of them on Skype, made it a little easier to ge gone, but still missed all of them.

Coming home next Friday!!! Can't wait to see home again. The time is going fast, the work is very interesting, the food has been great, and the people are also interesting, but nothing I want to put in writing LOL!

Every weekend, we get to leave our 1 bedroom apartment in Masseied and stay in the 5 star W Hotel in the capital city of Doha. Met up with some other Celerant guys last weekend, went to a Moroccan place and ate Camel, it was in a stew tasted like beef, but actually a little better.

Went shopping at the "souk" an outdoor market, that is very interesting. You see all types of people from all over the world and things to buy and see (sorry Tammy no table clothes yet) . Lots of birds and animals that people are selling. Many types of perfume shops (the men here wear a lot more than the women.). Look for pictures later.

Just relaxing today, got a great nights sleep in a soft hotel bed going out to walk the Mall this afternoon when it opens.

Love to all! Keep Angela in your prayers, she goes to the surgeon next week and will know more then.
