Jonathon made it to Doha! He landed safely last night and we were busy today trying to help him forget his intense desire to climb into the nearest bed for a nice long nap.
We went with some friends to explore the northern coast. It took an off-roading vehicle and an emergency stop for gas, but we found a nice, quiet beach area.
Many Qataris were camping along the beach, but it wasn't your average Jones family campout. People built little temporary cities on the beaches with generators to power the light polls and whatever that satellite dish is connected to. There were also water tank trucks coming around to refill water supplies. (Sorry Dad for giving Mom any ideas about next year's camping trip.) Camping on the beach just got added to the Qatar bucket list.
