speed-oh

arrived in doha monday afternoon and sat in the hotel bar to wait for mr. sanders who was on a later flight. twas a long wait for jeff - a three-glass-of-wine wait to be exact. while i was enjoying my usual after school snack of a bowl of nuts and a south african pinot, three dudes from the u.s. started to chat me up and wanted to know who i was, my status, where i was from, etc. turns out they know jeff and are working on one of his projects here. they thought this was extremely hilarious (could be the excessive quantities of beer they had consumed).


yesterday, i chose to be a lady of leisure and just hung out on the beach all afternoon (sufficiently slathered in sunscreen and under a shady tree). this is when hot-pink speedo boy arrived. while i was trying to be stealthy in my picture-taking of this flamboyant little man (even his flip flops were pink), a couple of english girls just flat out asked him if they could take his photo.


alright, that's all for now. i have to get my workout over with so i can go get cultured. the islamic museum is hosting the dutch masters (well, not the actual dutch masters, but probably their fancy etchings).
