Day 2

Day 2

We took an hour ride to the base. Our boss told us that people over here buy exotic car and tend to wreck them a lot. When they wreck them here there is no one to fix them. Because of this there is a junk yard full of exotic wrecks. He said you could get any piece of the car you want and ship it back to the U.S. Also people over here drive like crazy, did about 100Mph to the base and still took an hour. Gas is only $1 us a gallon so who cares.

We are getting our CAC and then waiting for the next plane to BIAP. Should be able to leave this afternoon so I wont need to spend the night here.

Communication

The ability to stay in touch with people has been great so far. I have used my Google voice account to talk to anyone that picks up the phone. I have not been able to get my phone to work yet because there is not a lot of wireless Internet yet. If you call me and my computer is open I will get the call.

The food has been great!

We have not been able to eat in the main hall yet because we are still waiting for our ID card. But there is a Subway, McDonalds, KFC, Pizza Hut….. hard to starve. The only down side is that none of the wonderful food has pork. No sausage or pepperoni on your pizza, no bacon on your cheeseburger, no salami on your sub. I have heard that there is a standard food hall and a healthy one. I will be eating at the healthy one, trying to loose 60lbs before I come home.

The Weather

Today has been like a day at the beach. Nice 70 degrees with a nice breeze. It feels like a day at the beach. But that will change because it is their cold and wet season right now. Soon it is going to be 130 at high noon. “But it’s a dry heat” SHUT-UP that is still fucking hot!

Weekends come sooner here

Found out today that Friday is their Saturday, Saturday is their Sunday. That must mean that thirsty Thursday is on Wednesday. And yes it is sandy as hell. My computer is covered in sand dust just sitting here trying to write this.

Talk to you all soon.

God Bless and remember to be American
