Last day in Doha
June 4-
It is our last day in Doha, and is also the last day of our dialogue. I can’t really describe my feelings, it is a very sad and at the same time, exciting day.
We had a tour of the Islamic Museum of Art in the morning. This place is phenomenal. It just opened up recently and we were lucky to have a tour through these extraordinary exhibits that contain artwork and pieces of history from all over the world.
After the museum we rushed back to the hotel and watched President Obama “address the Muslim world” from Cairo. I am proud that our president can deliver a positive speech so eloquently and inspire change across the globe. I am even more impressed that he was able to deliver that speech with enthusiasm after visiting President Mubarak, touring Islamic Cairo and going to the pyramids!
A small group of us took a mini-self tour of the Pearl. This area is brand new, and totally under construction. When it is finished, I will be able to say that I saw it before all of the glitz and glamour.
