Now for the important stuff - only two left to load.
I trust Erbil isn't a bucket list visit for her.
Actually it is on her "bucket list." She and my son are Mesopotamian archaeologists and have run out of places to dig (Syria, Iran and Iraq are their choices). They thought that the Kurdish region of Iraq was their best hope - so much for that. They dug for six years in Syria in sight of the mountains where the Yazidis are holed up and their last place was Raqqa, Syria where ISIS is "headquartered."
