So, I know it's been QUITE some time since my last post...LOTS has happened since Dec 1st I can tell you! I went home on vacation, to see the dentist and give him my hard earned cash, spend some money partying like a rock star, b uying a newer vehicle, Toyota 4Runner, getting new tattoo's and spending time with my son and my family. WOW, the 49 days I was home went quicker than I expected it to. But, now I am back in Iraq, since Feb 12th. I have moved out of Baghdad, since the beginning of April, since the insurgents decided they wanted to make my living area their bombing targets. Go figure eh? Bastards! So, I moved to Tallil, the City of Ur...Lot's of history and ancient civilizations to be remembered there. Such as: Sumerians, dating back as early as the 21st century BC...I saw, toured and took pictures of the site of the Ziggurat of Ur, the surrounding area with the House of Abraham and various other archaeological excavation sites to include: King Shulgi (circa 2048 B.C) What an humbling experience that was, I assure you...to walk in the sands around the old remains of the King of Sumer's palace, something many will never get to witness unless you come over here to work that is.

I will post some pics on here as soon as I figure out how to do that. Seeing as how I cannot post pics without my laptop or a thumb drive. Now, I am in transit to the northern most points of Iraq to the Nineveh Province, Tall'Afar. Interestingly enough, I get to possibly see other parts of biblical history in this area. Perhaps even some more of the Sumerian dynasty artifacts or ruins? I hope so. This has made my trip over here complete.

Well, I shall save more for later, no need in writing it all down this time.

Peace, FROM the Middle East.
