Vactioning in Iraq

Lots of cool pictures for everyone from my vacation here in Iraq (gotta put a positive spin on things!). I've been sightseeing, shopping, and interacted with the locals (some don't seem to care for us American's...?). Oh geeez guy's I'm just joking around, seriously though there is a lot of beautiful structures here and I have been lucky enough to have access to one of Saddam Hussein’s palaces. The throne I am sitting on was his "greeting throne" and it is pretty wide as you can see why I do not know. There are a lot of things around here, but unfortunately you can't take pictures, but whenever I get the chance I will take pictures of what I can. I hope these will do for now, sorry it's taken so long to get you guy's some cool pictures...enjoy!

Pluggin away...

Hello All, I hope everyone had an awesome time for super bowl Sunday (I made 50 bucks betting on the steelers!) I was a little disappointed that I didn't get to see the commercials - the Armed Forces Network has it's own commercials :( Anyway things are going good here, pretty much the same stuff day in and day out. I have had a chance to get out and see some Mosques but we can't hook our own personal computers up to the internet so I can't post any pictures yet. They are supposed to be working something out with a company for service we can pay for, but who knows when that will be up and running. Thanks for all your letters and packages everyone, they make the day's go by a little quicker!
