Went for a tour.

Desecrating a tomb.

4000 yr old graffiti

Striking a pose in the house of Abraham. The Abraham. Well, maybe. He was from Ur and this house is in Ur and belonged to an Abraham. It could have been Abraham Jones or Smith. It's also rebuilt, only the foundation was left. It was rebuilt for the Pope to visit in the 90's, but Sadaam said he wouldn't be responsible for the Pope's safety. The Pope didn't end up going. What a chicken!

The Zuggerat of Ur. I can see this from my office window.

And my first step class which kicked my rear.

Nice pics! What an awesome place to experience. I wish we could be there under more peaceful circumstances! Middle eastern history is SO interesting!

Mike, nice view from your office window.

Have you tried doing a spin class? Thats what usually kicks my butt. Oh and kick boxing. wow! That gives your hips and legs a workout.

Great pics Mike! How many days till you get to see your two blonde girls and my lost and younger twin sister?

Belated Happy Holidays, folks :)

Marion,

I wish there where more places open to see. This one happens to be on base. Access is limited though.

Teena/Kelli/Camille,

You shouldn't encourage the posing, it will only bring out the camera hog in me.

Burt/Rhett/Eric,

I was truly awed.

Paul,

That was my first and last step class. I don't have the rhythm for it.

Walter,

I took up spinning when I couldn't run, now I'm hooked :)

Lucia,

Now it's between 70-80 days :(
