Hello, World,
It's me, Flat George, in the wilds of Kurdistan, in Sulaymaniyah,
Iraq--one of the 41 best places to visit in 2011, according to the New
York Times
(http://travel.nytimes.com/2011/01/09/travel/09where-to-go.html)!

I flew here from the American Embassy, in Baghdad. It was a long, tiring
trip, but now I'm here and ready to explore!

The city has a semi-arid climate with very hot and dry summers and very
cold winters. You can see some of the surrounding mountain ranges, as
well as the city itself, with a population of almost 800,000.

The city has several museums and many historic sites, which I might be able to
visit. There is even a MaDonals (with the golden arches), but I've heard
"it's not the real thing"--which is probably a good!

I'm going out to dinner tomorrow night at a real restaurant!
More later, when I get up from my nap.

Great pictures FG. You are going to a real restaurant AND going to be allowed in? (sigh).
Be sure to tell us about all the great places you visit.
That looks like a furry interesting place to visit! What the jet-setter you've become.

You're going to need bout 87 years to rest up after your tour! Have fun and stay safe!
Hey, you were just in Colorado. How did you get to Iraq so fast?!
I have a new digital camera now. Once I can figure out how to work it, I'm going to bring Flat George to school with me!
Well, geez flat George, I learned something new. I didn't realize there were safe places to travel in Iraq. I guess I should spend more more time reading the New York Times. Thanks for the education!
Your pal, Pip
You should have your own show on the travel channel :)
Go Flat George Go!!
