This is a blog to record my life and impressions during a 3-year contract in Doha, Qatar. If you are new to this, it may be best read from earliest to latest.

Architecture
The topmost view is of the construction site behind my tower, taken from my balcony. I've also attached some examples of the buildings close to the Corniche. Much is under development and in six months or so I'll post similar pictures to mark the construction progress.
I have returned to NYC after completing a three-year contract in Doha, Qatar, a much needed paradigm shift after over 20 years in the higher education sector in the U.S. My efforts now are freelance - editing, research and writing, focusing primarily but not exclusively on genealogy. Genealogy is a natural complement to my over 30 years as an archaeologist studying prehistoric material from Southern Italy and Sicily as well as to my work in library science. The blog I kept while I lived, worked and traveled from Qatar remains available.
