signs

this is one of the funny signs you see in the middle east. The next ones are better.

This is our volunteer group that came in to teach sewing at the local woman's shelter. They are a great group of ladies who are talented in many areas. Jeanne, the lady with Megan is already planning to come back. Once you get here, you either want to stay or come back. (The strange looking guy did not want to be identified, so I had to fix him up a little.)

snow ball fight

We are on one of Saddam's old castle's on Gara mountain. It is a very tall mountain and still has lost of snow, like lots of the tall mountains in northern K-stan. This is March 30 and they said it snowed yesterday.

city on a hill

This is Amadia, a natural fortress city. This used to be the capitol or a capitol of the Assyrian Empire at one time. It some what reminds me of Massada, not that I have been there, but just the steep mountainsides and deep valley all around.
