It is good to be out of Baghdad for a week or so, Ramadan began with a car bomb that shook the building in the Baghdad Police Academy. Killed 31 Sunni buying food for the celebration.
I am in Sulimaniyah for a night and then driving over to Erbil, oldest inhabited city in the world. Alexander the Great defeated Darius the First (King of Persia) in the valley of Gaugamela about 20 miles from Erbil.
My new toy I will get to ride it when I get home in December
