Halloween In Doha

Stephen and I sort of celebrating Halloween by donning the authentic garb of this region

Stephen and co-worker Leah wanted to participate in the home office's Halloween festivities, so they both purchased items of dress common for men and women in this region. Leah lent me her veil and abaya for this picture. Stephen purchased his "white shirt" and head scarf at the souq. He let his beard grow for a few days but also enhanced it with a bit of charcoal. The sun glasses he already owned, a gift from Gabe at the time of the wedding.

Stephen continues his quest to wear his Pappy visor at every opportunity. He emailed this picture to Katherine and to Carrie, whose family produces the Van Winkle brand; Carrie got a big kick out of Stephen's support for their products.
