Maps


I can't sleep, so here's some of Iraq's relatively interesting geography taken on my fun trip a few weeks ago.














This last one is the Ziggurat of Ur.  Biblical Abraham's house is supposed to be around here too.  The dude in the bazaar back here tried to help me properly pronounce ziggurat.  He says it like, "ziccurah" and it's not Ur, it's "ouhr".  I appreciated him trying to help me out but still hoping I'm getting as salaam walekum out right, thanks.
