Birthday Beach Celebration

After dropping Heidi off at the airport, we headed out to Al Wakra for a birthday beach celebration. A friend was celebrating a big birthday, so we joined in the festivities. Before the sunset, everyone enjoyed the weather and water.

I didn't get many more photos because night fell. We had fun visiting and wishing well for the coming year.

Dukhan Beach

We decided to check out one of Qatar's beaches on a windy afternoon. We specifically were looking for shells. We headed to Dukhan on the west coast of Qatar.

We saw waves.

The beach was sandy until you were about 40 meters from the water, then it was all tiny shells

We walked along the shore

Gathered some shells in our buckets

Just right for tiny fingers

And tasted the saltiness

We just enjoyed getting out

We avoided anything too risky

We were plenty tired at the end
