So we did socialize while in Baghdad and we even able to make some food at the apartment when we got some ingredients. I made enchiladas. They tasted so good but had to buy some strange meat (I think it was beef) and clean it up because it was already seasoned with some other stuff. Ordered supplies from netgrocer and pleaded for corn tortillas, all that took a couple of months but it sure was worth the wait.
After a full belly and drink in hand, everyone decided to stare at Bob's PC. They were all impressed with such a big screen! I am not going to say what they were all staring at! LOL
We also had a wonderful Chinese dinner for Chinese New Year. It was delicious! Our friend, June, who is from Taiwan and her husband, Steve, fixed this out-of-this-world meal! We had to be rolled out of their apartment.
It was nice and cool at night so we could sit out on the patio and relax for a bit. It must have been either Friday or Saturday. I think Amy (in the red) was going home (to Canada).
And Steve and June went to Taiwan for vacation and decided to bring fire water. I remember it was very good and we finished that bottle very fast! They risked being arrested while coming through Kuwait to bring that bottle to us!
And Josh convinced us to go to Prosperity (a military base) where there was a restaurant that served local food. It was fantastic! It might not look too good any longer as this picture is after we already went through the food like locust!
We celebrated Mother's Day. I "hung" pictures on our apartment of our boys, Bryan and Joshua. The chow-hall had a couple of guys in their staff who made this beautiful statue. It is made of styrofoam and painted over. My IPS (supervisor) Timmie, put a message on the board to wish me Happy Mother's Day.
And we had to experience a sand storm, right? That is why we bought all this fancy stuff and no, I did not go rob a bank! LOL
We went to the airport to pick up pouch. We are waiting here for the plane to land. On the left, our drivers and Bob and our friend, Josh.
No, we didn't go there but it was good to see that there were other destinations between the Embassy and the airport. I don't think I feel like going back to visit any of those.
And then, it was time to say good bye. We had a great party with all the IRM people (computer support personel). That, in the red shirt, was the big chief of our group. Bruce is with me. He is a very nice guy and crazy most of the time. And Bob just observing the craziness around him.
