Reached Destination

Well, we have reached our destination in Iraq. I am currently at Camp Blue Diamond in Ar Ramadi, home away from home of the 1st Marine Division. The compound we're staying on used to belong to one of Saddam's brother-in-laws. It's actually quite scenic, as it is situated on the Euphrates River. There is a former palace and several other large impressive stone structures, as well as smaller buildings which I assume served as quarters for servants, groundskeepers, etc. More to follow...
