It is officially the rainy season in Iraq. The rain is not what's so bad, its the flooding and the mud that accompanies it. The soil composition is not good for absorbing water. It just pools and becomes slop.
We awake to a light sprinkle that seems innocent, but it is not. I walk out of my trailer and step immediately into a nice puddle of clay-like mud. It sticks to you boots, then as you walk through the gravel, it picks up every rock it can. By the time you get to where you are going, you have grown a couple of inches. Then it is time to scrap the mud off your boots. That will consume about 10 minutes upon every entry. You never can get all the mud off, so every place you enter has a muddy path.
Please help me make a "stop the rain" wish.
ok I wish Iwish I wish it would stop raining
ReplyDeleteok did it help :)
Rain Rain go away. We are wishing that the rain will stop for you. Then again, do you think that you all will get washed out and they have to send you home. Now I could handle that. I love and miss you very much. I am sorry the conditions there are so bad but I hope they get better for you soon. Keep smiling and just know we are counting down the day for your safe return
