After five days in a hotel room I feel like Martin Sheen (Apocolypse Now). Even though I wanted to see some of the city, I felt it more important to study. Besides, it would be much more fun with someone else! I feel pretty good about the exam though, and should have test results back in 3-4 weeks. I did get to see some of the city yesterday while riding with Jileep (my taxi driver) while on a quest to find a liquor store. The locals here are extremely nice and helpful. Tomorrow I go back to Leatherneck. Back to the heat and dust. I am looking forward to R&R in July. And riding in my boat!!!
I am glad you got a break . . . even though you were cooped up in a room for a couple of days. You did your best on that test - I am proud of you for studying and taking it. Too bad you didn't get to take in more of the sites. I wish my passport was done - I would have flown over there to meet you :) It looks like a pretty cool city. The toilet - I have an issue with the toilet. Now I know why the bases have signs that say "don't stand on the toilet" - ha
