Notes

The weather suddenly changed...without previous warning it turned from sunny with a bit of cool air, to gloomy with cold wind and dark grey clouds ... i thought to myself looking at the sky : would it rain?? i dont smell rain in the air (i always felt i could smell rain before it actually rains)... i love rain... i love watching it, i love being out when its pouring, i love the scent it has.. .in Baghadad, the rain had a differnt scent...tabaan no other rain but Baghadad rain would have it... its a wonderful mixture of humid dust and water...

Being away from Iraq has many good points, like the ability to breath. In Iraq, things have got to the point where you become scared of the air you breathe...
