Olympics Through Media

The Olympics Through Media exhibition at Katara is absolutely fantastic.  Be sure to get a tour by the sweet interns.  They are really knowledgeable and will really make the exhibit!

Wandering around the Trade Fair

chocolates!

The Trade Fair was back this summer and apparently much better than last year!  I had fun wandering around and seeing chocolate rock candy, Yemeni spices, and cute Turkish jewelry.

Cirque du Soleil Saltimbanco

Cirque du Soleil Saltimbanco came to Qatar for the weekend.  Fabulous as always.  My favorite was the Chinese poles.  It seems like they flew up them!!

It was quite packed as well!
