24MAY07. Thursday. Showed-up for the 0800AM Dhow Trip. That was pretty fun. We drove with abandon to downtown Doha. Boarded the Dhow, and put-putted at 5knots to our destination. The boat anchored. We swam in the ocean for awhile. Had a Shish-kabob lunch. Then headed home. The boat was pretty astounding. All handmade. Took plenty of pictures. The Gulf was Pretty Salty. The Crew were pleasant and helpful. Like a big party-boat without beer. Returned to the base intime to shower and go to the Iranian Restaurant. Had some Lamb, chicken, and beef. Also, smoked one of those water-pipes called a hooka. I had grape tobacco, Tom had apple. That was different. Off to our 3-beers. They track the beers electroncially through your ID Card. So, we chugged them and headed off to bed. Oh, those beers were the best I've had since I've been here. Will update when I can. Doug
