My day brought me to the opening day of Qatar International Food Festival

Where I proceeded to eat suuuuuuuuuuuuper not what I need to be eating.

Oops. Blame girl friends. 😆

Netflix and chill with bae(s)

Also: black dogs are the best – but worst when it’s 9pm and you’re too lazy to get up to take your POD.

Boat show

Ugggggggggggh. So cute.

This bathroom was decked out.

Cheers

Look at this handsome guy

Royal Botanical Garden

Tea factory to learn how it’s made – apparently, white is 1 plant and black/green teas are from the same plant. Had no idea.

Woodcarving with a demonstration of the rainbow tree, which has been used since antiquity to make paints and fabric dyes – cool stuff – the paintings at Dambulla from yesterday’s post were made with red/purple/orange/yellow paints made from this tree + something either acidic like lime juice or basic like chalk.

Also quickly stopped at a gem museum, but didn’t have time for the tour; just shopping.
