WESTWARD HO!

In THREE days I'll be Westward bound!

What I'm looking forward to in America:

Family, friends, and my CITC family

Sonic - cheese tots and a cherry vanilla Dr. Pepper!

Dr. Pepper

Driving Texas highways (above pictured Hwy 6 between Houston & College Station)

Going for a walk without being stared at

Tex-Mex

Teeth cleaning and medical check-ups

Public library

Physical activity options OTHER than workout videos (ULTIMATE FRISBEE!?)

Grocery shopping - so many choices (including healthy whole wheat bread!)

Goodbye for now, Kurdistan!

Top ten things I will miss while I'm gone:

1.   Kurdish friends and the friendly Kurdish people

2.   Luprak Butter

3.   Kak Naan ("Mr. Bread-Man") and his awesome bread

4.   Mountains

5.   Seeing people dressed in traditional Kurdish clothes

6.   Kurdish tea 

7.   Fresh vine-ripe tomatoes sold by the kilo at every little store on every corner

8.   Holland Bazaar

9.  Kurdish food like Iprax and Biriani

10. Cold cokes available at every store for less than fifty cents

Kurdish Mountains
