Jake and I didn't even know where Qatar was until this morning, when on our way to the Dayton, Ohio airport I looked up where out layover would be. We had for some reason thought we would have a layover in Geneva. Boy! were we surprised when we ended up in the Middle East.
Lots of interesting people-watching: men in white robes, women in black burkhas. Some of the women have their faces covered, too, and some even their hands. Others leave their faces exposed and carry designer handbags or wear glitzy jewelry. The female children dress, for the most part, like American children.
We have a six-hour-long layover, about four hours of which is over now. Jake and I wanted to take a cab from the airport to find some local food or, at the suggestion of the flight attendants, smoke some shuka (?), but I was told I wouldn't be allowed into the country with an Israeli stamp in my passport. Thus, we are killing time in the airport, watching the people and playing Rummy.
Next stop Korea!
