Pictures (finally)!

There are only a few pictures from around the apartment (excuse the mess!) and just outside the front of the apartment building. They are here. Enjoy!

Today was another exciting Qatari day for Jon and I. We went out looking at cars to get an idea of prices for the cars we are interested it. It was definitely a different experience than at an American dealership. Nobody bothered us at all and we were able to look at the cars in peace without being hassled. The only problem was everything closed from 12:30pm till about 4pm since it's the summer and ridiculously hot outside, although today wasn't actually too bad. It was probably only 105F and not too humid. Right now it's 6pm and it's 95F (feels like 111F) which really isn't too bad considering it will probably get worse. After car shopping we got lunch and then went to Carrefour to pick up a few more household things. I'm hoping Rachel and I can go out for a walk when she gets home from work and I'll take more pictures then of the housing area.
