Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone!!! I didn't remember that it was a holiday until I went to eat lunch at the DFAC. It was all decorated. We can't celebrate with festive clothing here considering none of our uniforms have green in them: just brown, tan, and gray. What a drab wardrobe! Today, I had to go to a briefing on goal setting. It was pretty interesting. Then I spent 3 1/2 hours laying out at the pool. Don't worry though, I was wearing SPF 15 at all times. Funny story: I didn't put sunscreen on my legs yesterday, and then I must have touched them because last night when we were taking a shower I saw that I had a hand print on the back of both thighs! How tacky is that?! I am so imbarrassed. I tried to get it to fill in today, but it didn't happen. Subject change... Camels do roam around aimlessly over here. I did see a couple Camel Herders (like a shepard), but there are real high ways and stuff here. The camels were grazing in the median! I am not kiddin
g. Talk about reaching out and touching them. Not much else to tell for today. I hope everyone stays clear of the pinches back home.
