Tonight I went out for dinner with my wonderful lunch buddies from the CCU. They'd picked a seafood restaurant along the beach in Katara, the cultural village where I had previously visited the Blue Mosque. They asked me if I was excited to go back to Canada this Friday and while I definitely am excited, especially to see Jeff, leaving Doha is also bittersweet. I've met so many amazing people during this trip, and it saddens me to leave them all behind. However, I've learned so many things about nursing and we promised to keep in touch.
Here's a photo of a typical public beach in Doha. This one closed at 5 p.m. so it's deserted. I snapped this photo before someone told me there are no photos allowed on the beach. Qatari women here will typically wear a full abaya into the water.

Here we are in this gorgeous marble open-air theatre just as the sun was setting: Andrew, Rez, Joy, myself and Adrian.
In the evening Katara becomes a very popular public space so there were lots of families walking around last night.
The food:
This was probably one of the best meals I've had since I arrived. You basically choose what seafood you want and how you want it prepared and they bring it to your table.
They had everything!
Our group. The entire restaurant was decorated in blue tiles, it was beautiful.
