Flight to Doha and roaming the airport

13 hours to Doha, Qatar and a transfer/layover for 2 hours or so... A beautiful mix of nationalities and no issue what so ever of two American women travelling.  Wandering around we saw the familiar shopping haunts: Coach, Bulgari, Victoria Secret (gentrification in Qatar??!).  But, also stepping aside Starbucks for the local coffee and pastry hub.  The Qahwa Arabiya Saffron and Cardamon single shot was sweet, fresh, aromatic and did the trick! YUM. :)
