It got up to 117 yesterday, but we still played the weekly soccer game. It was very fun, but hot. I drank 1/4 of a gallon before the game, 1/2 gallon during the game, 1/4 gallon after the game and ate a pack of Smokehouse Cheddar wafers before the game (for salt). YUMMY! My favorite cracker. Today was hotter . . . 122, but I swear it didn't feel a degree over 115. Just to think it's not even summer yet.
Went to Al-Faw palace today and sat in the chair Yassar Arafat gifted to Saddam Hussein. It was remarkable to see how the palace had been Americanized with cubicals. I'm sure they will leave when we do. The palace was very impressive. Lots of marble, lots of space, it looked very impressive. Dictators manage to accomplish some impressive things, but the ending ususally isn't so good.
BTW: I'm trying to upload some pictures, but must have a bad connection.
