New Year's Eve today - we spent the afternoon at our local park - which on a lovely Winter's Day of 27 degrees was crowded with local families. Since our annual calendar is based on the Christian Gregorian calendar which follows the sun and the Muslims prefer to follow their own lunar calendar New Year's isn't celebrated much here - which in a way is kind of refreshing - Christmas and New Year's are not associated with the rampant commercialism at home and yet we are free to celebrate in ways which are meaningful to us. The girls had a ball at the park - Santa obviously had a sporting theme in mind for our family! A and I always enjoy people watching and on a Friday afternoon (like our Sunday) there were plenty of people around. So here are some last glimpses of our life in Doha for 2010.
