Here's Eric in Kuwait...........more than three years ago now.
Doesn't look like the scenery has changed much since then. ;)

Here's what he had to say today about the weather (via e-mail):
"The weather has been getting steadily hotter. Kuwait City & Basra are roughly the same distance from camp ********, give or take 30 miles or so, and every day i check the stars & stripes for the weather forecast. Today was something like 113 in both locations. Add to that the fact that camp ******** is prolly a little bit warmer, being that Kuwait city & basra are both on the water, whereas we are smack in the middle of the desert. That all adds up to a very warm day indeed. It really isn't THAT bad though.. especially considering that even if it averages at 130 this summer, that's not even another 20 degrees. definitely bearable. It is of course a dry heat too, which helps immeasurably. You don't even get really sweaty because as soon as you start, it evaporates off into the dry air. It's really like being in a sauna, and that's supposed to be soothing, right?!?!? right."
(Sorry kiddo but nothing about 113 sounds "soothing" to me.;^)
