The People You Meet!

I stopped at Al Meera on my way home from work yesterday afternoon. In the parking lot were two young men, brothers, from Oman selling "sweets" out of the trunk of their car. The sweets actually was helva of different kinds, and "the very best quality" because it came from Oman. These two had driven 9 hours from Oman to stay overnight in Doha and sell their wares. I asked them if they thought they were going to make enough money to pay for the trip, and they smiled and reassured me that they would. We talked about Oman and how beautiful it is, and I got their telephone numbers and promises to show me around when I travel there.
