*Cough*

I wish I could take some pictures out here at the site to give you guys an idea what the sand is like... Visibility is under half a mile and the stuff gets into your nose and lungs and it's pretty unpleasant.

Some google map updates...

This is Al Ghariyah.

The resort condos are lined up in the middle of the map. Ours was the farthest one to the west. It's pretty much in a straight line down from the jetty(that's what I was calling it whether I was right or not...)/breakwater to the north(also where we swam out to watch the sunrise).


This is the site(aka Qatargas CSP).

Technically it's just the office. If you drag the map to the northeast along the road you eventually land at the berth where we're building this thing. The pictures are definitely awhile ago since there's a real building out at the berth(it's huge). There should also be several smaller trailers near the two big buildings in the initial picture(they would be in the parking area to the southwest). If you zoom out you can see the whole area, the city is called Ras Laffan Industrial City. Plenty industrial, not much city.


Last one: This is Al Kohr.

Just ignore the fact that Google spells it wrong. All of the road signs here show Al Khor so that's what I go with. Directly to the left of the word Al Khawr is the soccer field. Somewhere west of there is the villa. I'm not oriented well enough yet to have any idea where it exactly is.

Still missing you guys. I'll update again soon.

PS These people don't know how to make a proper pizza.
