Anyway, it's pretty freaking hot in Kuwait, luckily in Afghanistan it's much cooler. It even snows during the winter. We'll be heading out Wednesday to camp out in the desert to further our experience in desert living - sounds like a home design magazine.
The heat isn't so bad, but everything has a film of dust on it. And it's not really dust, it's sand. The sand here is so fine that to make cement these people actually have to import SAND to make it. OUR sand. Funny huh.
Camp Virginia isn't so bad though. There's buildings set up in fairly close areas to go shopping or get fast food. Make no mistake, this camp is luxurious compared to most of them out there. They even have a McDonalds here, not that I really want that or vomit-inducing Hole-n-One donuts in this heat. I'll put some pics of my glorious tent up later, something
you will all enjoy seeing.
Hey man, forgot to tell you that I would highly advise 'toilet papering' the seats in the porta poties. This includes the nicer looking standalone restrooms that have sinks.

Hey Riley!!
ReplyDeleteBeth & I are enjoying reading your updates!!
What can we send you in care packages? You know we are always good for something like cookies!! Of course, from the sounds of it, we could just mail the cookie dough and they would bake right in the package with the heat over there!! Let Us know!
Can't wait to see your Pictures!
Take care of yourself!
Love Ya,
Carolyn & Beth
