Not so much pictures of my Bunnies but I got a nice email from my mom today. She sent a few photos! I wanted to share them with you guys here.
Well they were waiting for the ride back to the office She was able to get a tour around Irbil because she says its the only safe city in Iraq because there are only Kurds there and they love Americans. So here are a few photos while she was there They were able to Tour the market and see the Cidadel.

She has been on about ½ dozen helicopters mostly Blackhawk and one Chinook. She said getting in to them with individual body armor on that weights about 30 lbs has been tricky. She also says that while at the The Korean base, Zaytun! The Korean's showed them around base with an interpreter of course and frequent stops for tea which was served in the smallest cups ever. She said that She is treated really good and that when the guys in the military side, they perk up when they find out that she works for MNF-I which is directly under General Petraeus. I told she can't have to much fun because I don't know if I can take her going back to Iraq for another 6months.
Pictures of her desk
The building she works in the one with the dome.
I copied this from an email about the Complex she works in because I think it's very interesting.
"An interesting note about this "Palace Complex" is that it was built as
a hunting area. Saddam built this complex, dug and stocked the lake for
fishing, had wild game animals roaming the area so him and his buddies
could hunt and fish in a secure environment. The lake has a wide
sidewalk all the way around and the trees you see scattered around are
the only ones. The rest of the base is bare dirt with tents and
substandard buildings. On the way to work is a pretty little park area
just as I get into the Palace complex that has "structures" where he
publicly tortured people....very sad."
For those who don't know my Mom works for the army corps of engineers and is in Iraq for 6months setting up Environmental Programs.
