Hi Shane,
Those are some nice pictures.
Did you get the camera with the new laptop? You are camping out almost like when we use to go Yogi Bear. HA HA!!
TAKE AND GOD BLESS
LOVE YOU MOM!!!
OOpps
I left out a word.
TAKE CARE!!!
do you have a 4X4 that would be fun!!! lcf
We do have a 4x4 hence the earlier post about the Hadji car wash =)
Nick...tread lightly my friend...that could be grounds for expulsion ;)
It is a lot like camping...at least that's what I keep telling myself =)
The palace actually makes me pretty sad knowing that Saddam was squandering all this money when over 80% of the rest of the people in the country were living in poverty due to his oppresion.
There are hundreds of these palaces around the country and this is one of the smallest ones.
If the Cajuns were a real team, I'd care more ;)
