Day 15 – Wednesday, March 2nd

As I mentioned earlier we have a team in Dubai putting a proposal together for a project in Doha.  The team has limited understanding of the project and what the site conditions are, etc.  We flew them in to Doha and rented a van to tour the alignment.  Basically, we walked the whole 10KM alignment.  A lot of construction is currently going on and we wondered in to areas we weren’t welcome.  One site on the alignment was next to the UAE Embassy.  As we were poking around a guard with an AK 47 started to walk towards us, whoops.  Sorry sir, we really meant to walk in the other direction.  Seven white guys with engineering drawings, cameras and note pads.  I wonder what he was thinking.
Took the boys on a short tour of the other project sites in the city and had a meeting over lunch. 
Two days in the field just took it out of me.  I’ll sleep well tonight.
