Letter 12--Convoy to Mosul

12/3/05

Hey everyone,
We have finally arrived in Mosul, it was a long drive through the countryside. There isn't much outside of Baghdad that I could see. There was an occasional house or two on the road and we passed by a few villages, but other than that it was just empty. Our convoy got hit with an IED but it went off in between two of the vehicles. Luckily nobody was hurt. The vehicle that drove though the blast got a broken headlight and a cracked windshield, mostly from rocks and debris that was thrown into the air. I was hoping that it would be an uneventful trip, but at least we are all okay. We are living in an Iraqi compound, we have our own little area that is separated from the Iraqis and we have TV and internet set up via satellite. It doesn't seem too bad up here so far. Still no hot water, but with two showers and 40 people, what can you expect? I'll keep in touch and I hope all of you do the same.
love,
Billy
