Life in Ninewa

I just liked this photo with a Mosque in the background. This is in downtown Mosul.

Citadel

This is a very historic gathering place in a town in Northern Iraq called Erbil (capital of Kurdistan).

Monastery 2

Mor Mataai Monaster again, different photo.

Monastery 1

This is Mor Mataai Monastery which is one of several Monasteries in Northern Iraq.

Sand Storm Cometh

This is a photo of an impending sand storm coming over our living trailers. This has happened quite a few times the last couple of months. This when it becomes pointless sometimes to take a shower.

"It's A Dry Heat".....Yeah Sure

If anyone ever says the following about Iraq, they are lying thru their teeth…”It’s a Dry Heat so it doesn’t feel as hot” I here to tell you that hot is HOT, especially when the thermometer reads 110 and it’s only 10 a.m. in MAY. We are so looking forward to July and August….NOT. The lesson here to all of our loved ones and friends and family is to NOT send any chocolate (or things that melt like Gummi Bears) in the mail for awhile. This will be a quick post this time since it has taken me this long to find the time to post. We are excited to be over the hump and by the time I return of R&R leave, we will only have about four months left.

As for the photos this time, I decided to show you some of Iraq and how beautiful it can be if they would stop blowing each other up….but anyway, enjoy.
