Growth

Quick trip out to Doha, Qatar for business.  This place is like the energizer bunny!  Growth everywhere!  Hundreds of billions of dollars being invested in infrastructure and modernization.  They are binding a new airport, a new port facility, new metro system, tons of new highways, an education zone that already has several American universities in residence, and buildings everywhere.  And most of the contracts are going to American companies.  Good for us, good for them!

Took the photo from my hotel room.  The skyline tells the story.  The small pyramid-like building just across the water is the Doha Sheraton.  In 2002 it was the tallest building in the city!
