The weather here has been starting to get hotter, highs should be inching up into the 100's soon. We had one day of really heavy rain, over the weekend, but that has all dried up by now.
There is a small canal across the road from my trailer. We cross a small bridge to get to the DFAC, (Army lingo for Dining Facility), where many people throw bread into the water and feed the fish. Many types of fish and turtles also. I am told that when the weather gets really hot, Big turtle, will come up from the bottom, I will see if I can get some pictures to pass along.
Many people fish here. There are several big lakes around the Al Faw Palace, with lots of fish. I have seen people use Rod and Reels, and Fly Rods also. You wouldn't want to eat any of these fish, but the fishing is fun. I might have to get a flyrod, and take it up, which might be ok, since I work nights and am off during the day.
I am starting to get a routine going where I work out at the gym right after work, and go to bed later in the morning. This really helps me get a good sleep through the day.
The people that we are replacing here will be living here in the next several days. Good bunch of guys, and have been very helpful in training us for the work to be done. They have been here for a year and are anxious to get home, as you can imagine.
I will get some new photographs of the lakes around the Al Faw Palace and post them in my upcoming posts.

Glad to hear you are doing well, and seem to have a decent place to call "home" for a little while. Be safe, we are thinking of, and praying for you.
