Getting lost in the dark in the area around BIAP with a newfound friend....priceless!

LOL - how well I remember that! I had been in Iraq exactly one week when we met and went to BK and got lost and I didn't know my way around BIAP at all. I remember being so scared when you were turning the truck around in a tight location and the back left wheel was hanging off of some drop. We were right by Signal Hill.

Somehow we eventually managed to stumble miraculously on to good ol' Victory North.

Thanks for the great narrative, Allegra.

Allegra,

I've been reading your posts for the past 5 years from my safe digs in New Jersey and I have looked forward everyone of one of them.

Thanks for your work. Stay safe.

I’ve always enjoyed your comments on what’s happening in Iraq.

In 2007 my son worked for KBR at Camp Echo south of Baghdad. He fell in love with the Middle East and is now studying Arabic in Damascus and having the time of his life.

A few weeks ago he and some friends toured Kurdistan including a visit to northern Iraq. He was treated very kindly by everyone and had many invitations for dinner. He wants to go back to Iraq after he’s through with school.

Great vanity!

Five years ago today, I was in labor, and James was born on the 19th (Robert E. Lee’s birthday). Time flies!
