Trip Up North
Earlier this week I was able to take a trip to northern Iraq. We stopped in Tikrit and Mosul. We visited many palaces at our destinations in our spare time.
It was nice to get away from the camp for a while. Especially nice was the fact that I got to see many trees and hills! Our camp is as flat as flat gets with very few trees. Mosul and Tikrit, on the other hand, have many of both.
The trip was uneventful and we didn't run into any danger, but I was glad to be back. Upon return, I had lots of mail! I received a new home and some food for Gary from Joanna. Thank you for that! Also, I got in the mail EIGHT CASES of Girlscout cookies from the Overseas Girl Scouts-Iwakuni. Thanks Girlscouts! I will have to share the love around camp.

Thats's cool Chris that you got to travel up northward. How big were Saddam's Palaces? You should fil me in on it.
I believe you have Nick and his niece to thank for the cookies. Make sure you send a thank you! Glad you got a break, but equally glad to know you are back safely. The palaces look pretty amazing.
Love Mom
