Now we are two!

It was a joy to find Pat waiting for me at Doha airport, after a twelve-hour flight from Washington with Qatar Airways. As we approached I just finished a chapter from T. E. Lawrence's "Seven Pillars of Wisdom" & one phrase really stuck in my mind: "... then the heat of Arabia came out like a drawn sword and struck us speechless." And so it proved. So the past two days have been spent recovering from jet lag, meeting new friends, & struggling with the challenges of settling into our new home. Pat has already come through her first two weeks of teaching &, thanks to her old friend, Betty (with whom she taught in Ottawa), was finding her way around very well. More on all this later. Meanwhile, double click on the slide show on the right & see the photos with their titles.
