It's that time of year again...0123. The easiest birthday to remember. January 23, 2007. It is hard to believe that Aislyn is 7 already. when we asked her were she wanted to go for her birthday, she said The Souq. Too funny! We had a great time tonight. Both Aislyn and Nate fell asleep in the car on the way home tonight. Too cute. Take a look at the pictures.

| After seeing this, what can you say? |
 |
| A Qatari boy and his falcon. |
 |
| Some sort of a caramel sauce. Smelled really good! |
 |
These old men should be retired. But no, they are porters for the Souq.
There are so many things wrong with this place. |
 |
| Peacocks in the back of a Hummer. Not at all surprising. |
 |
| Nate jumped at the opportunity to hold this falcon. |
 |
| So did Ais! |
 |
There are several shops like this at the Souq. Prices for these birds range from 5000QR to 50000QR.
That is about 15000 Canadian! |
 |
This white one is 50000QR! Beautiful bird, stuck on
a post in a store waiting for someone to buy it. |
 |
Here is a contradiction. Check out the skyscrapers with the cranes in the background.
Old meets new. We see a lot of this in Doha. |
 |
| This restaurant was amazing! Fresh pita bread, hummus, garlic labnah, freshly squeezed orange strawberry and mint-lime juice, chicken and lamb kabobs, great service and a great atmosphere. |
 |
My purchase, a discontinued Iraqi Dinar. It will one day be a great
conversation starter back at the Piva house in the Waterloo. |
