Hello,

My journey in Iraq is a daily calendar of Highlights:  Dramatic ancient sites, abundant flavorful food, and the best of all: a population of welcoming, helpful, dependable men and women along with swarming, energetic children.  Everyone is pleased to meet an American.

Unfortunately, today, in the old city of Mosul, I find the heartbreaking skeletal, charred remains of the recent ISIS - Iraqi Army battle.

And yet, within meters of the devastation, the men and women at the food and fish market go about their lives with a tinge of sadness of course, but with a welcoming embrace that reminds me of the Highlights of my Travels throughout the Middle East.
