qatarperegrineYesterday was International Day at work, for which everyone was encouraged to dress in their (or at least a) national dress. When we were asked last week whether we wanted to participate, most of us Americans wracked our brains for what we might wear to represent the U.S. I said to my coworker, "I'd represent Northern Californian culture, if I had brought any of my hippy clothes to Qatar." She pointed at what I happened to be wearing that day and said, "Well... you've got that...." So, while I did not officially represent NorCal, I did wear a hippier-than-average outfit.
And, speaking of gratuitous pictures, here are the Dukes' pictures of David's & my birthday dinner last weekend.

So do you change colour according to your mood, like Snorkmaiden?
