If You Can't Find It...

...they will make it!!! Yup, they say you can find anything you need in Doha, it is sometimes just a challenge to locate it! So Michael and I went out to the Auto Souqs (markets) looking for a cover for my Jeep. Being that it has a hard top, I cannot just throw it on if it starts to rain or there is a sandstorm, both of which we have seen quite a bit! We went into shop after shop, with no luck. Finally one of the shop owners recommended that we try an upholstery shop. Just happens that we had parked 'Qatari Style' (aka on the sidewalk) right in front of an upholstery shop. We told the shop owner what we were looking for and he in very broken English said he could finish it by tomorrow. Of course Michael and I are thinking, how much with this cost! lol So the shop owner goes out to the Jeep and takes many measurements, of course, writes nothing down, goes inside and says it will cost 250 Riyals (QR) and it will be ready by tomorrow. Michael and I laugh because this is a whole cover for the Jeep for $68.75! Of course, you are supposed to bargain for a better price, which we are not good at, and the shop owner says he already gave us a 50 QR discount, it was originally 300 QR! lol So of course we think this is quite a deal and we know that we can take it back at any time for repairs if needed. Jeep sells a cover for over $200! What a deal!

Macey wanted you to see her new pillow, also purchased at a Souq!

She loves her pillow very much!
