Hot & "Dusty" Erbil, Iraq - Part 2


A member of a family that was enchanted with being amongst Americans.  Lots of picture were taken by the family.  This fellow was enchanted with my hat.  Picture taken in the Citadel.
Inside Minaret Park, named for this famous and ancient, leaning minaret.  While we were at Minaret Park, we heard the Muslim call to prayer go out from other surrounding minarets.
Kathy & Marianne standing beside a replica of the Citadel inside Minaret Park.
Some kids who posed for us.
The guard at the entrance to Minaret Park.  Note the AK-47 slung over his left shoulder.  He spoke very good English, vacated his air conditioned guard shack so that we might cool down, brought us ice cold water and 3 drinking cups, and offered to share his lunch with all of us!!!!
Joe & Marianne ordering the "#1" burger combo at American Burger.  Note the jar of chocolate chip cookies on the counter.  Ice cream chest is behind the square column.

The food was very good.

That's all for now.  About to venture off into the city again.  Will have more to write later.
