Cheap gas!

Filled up our rental today...$9.00.   40L of gas for 900 pennies. Seriously!  It only took six days to rent our car, a Renault Koleos, mid-sized SUV. We are now learning how to navigate to nightmarish traffic around Doha. I was coming home from a staff soccer game today and got caught between two speed bumps at a T-intersection. I just sat there and was surrounded by a bunch of people who clearly didn't learn how to drive.  

We went to the mall to get groceries tonight and had dinner at Tim Horton's!!!  We ran into a few Canadians seeking a taste of home. We ended up getting lost while trying to get back to the highway. We managed to find our way back. 

We are very tired from all of the long days of training, waking up at 5:15, being parents and wondering when we are going to be able to start getting our classes ready for school...which by the way starts on Sept 10 now. The governing body called the SEC (Supreme Education Council) decided to extend the summer break?  That's a first for us and we are not complaining. 

Take care!

PS. Happy Birthday Santone!
