Just another day in the wastelands. It was an eventful week some what - the Polish Ambassador was a patient after the bombing attempt on his life. He's OK. Ramadan (the religious month long holiday is almost over), then comes the 3 day feast thing. Ali Baba (the bad guys name) has been alot more active recently and will step up the incoming during the festival - go figure. Supposed to be a happy time yet lots will perish.
The picture's are of how we (not me-height issue) trim the palm trees....the guy shimmies up barefooted and cuts the stalks....then back down...these things are 50 ft high....NOT ME.
The other picture is a container of our hand soap....look closely - yep there is a bullet inside. When we opened a new case of this - it was all busted up. This bullet went through the warehouse roof and into the case. Ending up in this bottle of soap. We did a little CSI-ing and back tracked to find the hole in the roof - see TV watching helps in real world :-)
Only 71.61 days till I leave Amman, Jordan for Home - Yea. Can't wait to see everyone. Also should be interesting to visit Jerusalem and Petra, Jordan (Indy Jones and Crusade movie site).
Should have some great pictures after that.....
So on that note I will sign off -
GO RED SOX - GO PATS

the bathroom pics were absolutely disgusting. Luckily Adam had already briefed me on their disgusting bathroom habits! it's very creepy to see the bullet in your soap. To think it went through a building and some boxes and then the soap!!
On to new and positive thoughts. Maybe you could cut down some palm trees for us? That would be mighty brave of you. You'll have to take lots of pics in Jordan and wherever else you get to visit.
Are you able to watch any of the Red Sox or Patriots games? Pretty exciting!!! Looking forward to seeing you in a matter of days, ok, well, 70 days.
