awesome weekendCategory: about doha
This weekend was full of more Doha firsts. I went to my first beach party at the intercon, I went to my first Dunestock, and I finally camped out in the desert for the first time. Here's a few from the beach party. More photos tomorrow. Right now I'm exhausted and really need to go to bed. Looooong day tomorrow.

opa diedCategory: death
Opa wasn't my grandfather. He's the father of my 'babysitter'. Sylvia was the babysitter for all us kids, and we used to live next door. It's one of those deals where you kind of become family with some folks. Hence, I called her parents Oma and Opa.
On Thanksgiving day they were in a bad car accident. He never recovered from his injuries. It's sad. Good-bye Opa.

I'd like to second what Felly said - we've all got people who, while not related to us by blood, are none the less our family. I'm sorry to hear about your Opa.

no bathroom for 4 daysCategory: potpourri
I had a crack in my bathtub and they couldn't fix it; they had to replace the entire tub. I've been 4 days without a bathroom. I'm really hoping they will finish tomorrow!
I was shocked half way through when I saw the new tub in place, but not yet tiled in. Sand! They filled it with sand!
On a high note, I have a second date tomorrow night :)

I would go crazy without having a bathroom for four days - I thought not having a side parlor for four days was rough.

Hey, give them a break. You are after all in the middle of the desert. I mean, what better filler than sand? :)

That sand looks odd, but I'm guessing that they have some way that makes it work very well. I wish you good luck on your date and hope things go very good.

another doha firstCategory: potpourri
Since I've been here there have been a lot of firsts for me. First time living overseas, first new car, first dune riding experience etc. Then there are a lot of firsts which are not necessarily my first, first, but are a first since being here in Doha. Such as my first conduct hearing, driving lesson, alcoholic beverage, birthday, etc.
The point of all that is to say I had another first last night that made me happy. I had my first date in Doha. By chance the guy happens to be the roommate of the girl I bought my car from. She invited me to the Rugby Club where I met him among 20 or so other people. Apparently we were getting along well enough for others to notice and so began the plotting of getting the two of us together. I guess it worked.
We had a nice dinner at a Thai place then got some ice cream and walked along the canal. It was simple, it was sweet. Maybe the fact that I haven’t been on a proper date in 6 years played a part in my happiness, but overall he’s just charming and highly entertaining. Cheers!

It sounds like it was a good date. I hope they continue to be good and hope things work out great. On a side note (e:hodowns) halfway across the globe comment was great wish I would have thought of it.

I really like the painting with lights photo. I used to do that all the time with my one phone cam that had a delayed shutter. I miss it.
I love that photo of you and Rory. You are both aglow.
Glad you are having a great weekend and doing new stuff hope the rest of the weekend continues that way and I look forward to seeing more pictures.
