Well it took forever to get onto a flight to Balad last night, but we finally got there. It's a nice flight. I never thought that Iraq could look that beautiful, but even at night is a really nice view. Baghdad is huge, I guess I never really imagined it being that big.

Well we got to go to the palace while we were there, and I have a picture here of me sitting in Saddam's chair! Haha, bet he never saw that one coming, sucker! The palace is huge, and really pretty, I have a bunch more pics, but I'll have to mail a cd home, because I don't have a very good internet connection here. I'm going to put up a few pictures if I can though.

Being back in Balad isn't too bad though. We're still going through rain season, so it gets really muddy, and if it's not muddy it's really dusty. So either way, it's rough, but if that's the worst then I'm not complaining. Anyway, off to dinner!
