One Month

I'm down to one month left before I return to the US!
In the last post I mentioned that there were some big changes happening around here- first, the building (formerly Presidential Palace, now Government Palace) where I worked was turned back over to the Iraqis, so I had to move to a new building. I now work in the new US Embassy in Baghdad which you may have seen mentioned on the news when it was officially opened last week. Second, I lived just behind the old palace on land that is also being given back to Iraq, so I had to move my "home" as well. I didn't go very far, but I do now live in a fancy new trailer. By fancy I mean it has internet.

In non-Iraq-related news, Google also released Picasa for Mac. Picasa is a (free) photo organizing, editing, and uploading program that I highly recommend. The Mac version was just released at the beginning of the year. I saw a nifty slideshow on Jess' blog and I'm going to put one here with my palace pictures. I couldn't upload these pictures before because you weren't allowed to take any, but now that we don't work out of there any more that's no longer an issue.
