Last Saturday, July 7, 2012, Kathy and I and Marianne, another expat who grew up in Garland, used taxis to go on a Mar Qardakh school sponsored scavenger hunt. I thought I would post some of the pictures that were taken that day for your enjoyment.

| This is Marianne. She and Kathy and I ventured together to Erbil's city center. She is from Garland, Texas. |
 |
| This is one view of the ancient Citadel in the center of the city. It is like the hub of a wheel, with all major roads moving away from it like the spokes of a wheel. |
 |
| This was taken at the top of the mound, just outside one of the gates into the Citadel. |
 |
| This shot was taken from the same spot as the previous picture, only looking towards the city instead of the Citadel. |
 |
| Immediately outside the gate to the Citadel. |
