Subject: Deja Vu all over again
I've reached my destination a day early! I'm settling in, although I'm
not sure if I am in my final tent. I'm in a weatherhaven like last time
but we have dividers. My in-clearance was smooth.
The food here is good and there are lots of facilities. I'm not sure
what everyone was talking about comparing it to Julien. The coffee
ain't cheap but it is pretty good.
My trip was uneventful. It was pretty much a repeat of the last trip.
The place smells the same (sewage, bad diesel, garbage,
burning), but I can't complain. Its a lot noisier. We are out in the
desert, however, so it is a little different that last time.
I'm trying hard to stay awake for two more hours. I'm having a hard
time following conversations right now!
Tell the kids that I love them! I'll try and call tomorrow.
Love,
Iain

soldiers can phone and
email back to Canada
from the thousands of cooking
fires. It usually dissipates by
noon. The mountains in the
distance then come into view -
giant, brooding, khaki cliffs ....
