Our favorite place in Doha

The Museum of Islamic Art is still our favorite place to go in Doha.

On New Year's Day, after we ate some lunch at the Souq, we walked over to the MIA and had some refreshments before looking at the permanent collection. The waiter was a young man from Macedonia and he enthusiastically suggested we try the Moroccan tea and Arabic coffee. Really one of these beverages would have been enough, but we were undecided between the two and got caught up in his enthusiasm for us to try something new.  He told us too that we should visit his country because there are many beautiful things to see there. Neither Stephen nor I could even picture where Macedonia is located geographically, so we looked it up once we got home. It is north of Greece and also bordered by Albania, Serbia and Bulgaria. It is a part of the world about which I know so little. But we did enjoy the tea and coffee, although I am pretty sure all that caffein is why I got so little sleep last night.
