Doha (day three)

I am sitting on the couch as I write this I am listening to the news about the insane winter weather all throughout the States. "Five hour delays in such and such airport" "Interstate travel at a standstill" I am glad that I got out when I did, with no setbacks. At the same time I hope the weather gets better before I start the trek home. Today was pretty laid back. Dad went in to work and Mom and I went out and sat on the beach with our books. I am just about finished with "Fight Club" by Palahniuk, its very good, I recommend it. Like I said before, it was a pretty easy going day. Later in the evening we drove out and met Dad at his office. The work day ends at around three and no one was there so I got a quick tour. Its a nice place. Dad's office is one of only a few that has a window. We left the office and went to another beach nearby. The shore at this location had a very gradual slope to it so you could see the sand bars breaking through for a long ways into the water. We met one of Dad's friends from work there with his two dogs and we played with them. It made me miss Rox, she would have loved it. After the sun set we went to a place called "Fast Fish" for dinner, it was kind of a dive, and a little frightening, but Mom and Dad swore that it had great food, and it did. It's always the scary places that are the best. I mean, look at Polar King! So now we are just back at home about to watch a movie. Big plans coming up for the next few days though, so keep an eye out. Hope all is well and everyone is staying safe back home. Cheers.
