Anton and Maggie Arrive in Qatar

Okay,

Maggie and I finished our move-talk about hectic... The birds and cat got their papers in time and were able to join us on the same plane. The birds did fine but our cat would not talk to us for a few weeks. I think next time we will have to upgrade her from cargo to business class!

Photos 1-5 are of our new place which is in a small compound. We have Brits, Canadians, Irish, Indians, and Belgians for neighbors. The caretakers are Sri Lanken and Nepalese so it makes for quite an interesting mix.
