Thanks for all the well wishes everybody. I've got more pics coming and will just post 'em in this thread when I get around to it. The LAAARRRGE(it's freaking huge!) building in the background is NOT the new US Embassy. I don't know it's name, but it was intended to be the worlds largest mosque. It's larger than the Taj Mahal and those cranes have not moved once since I've been here. Construction stopped when the war began and has not resumed. There are several buildings in Baghdad in the same predicament. A crane on one fell over a couple of weeks ago due to high winds.
