COB
Luxury is Relative
Monday, February 14, 2011
At the COB, Green Beans is a real, but essential, luxury. We started our day with a triple cappuccino expertly served up by the unexpectedly named Robert Rodriquez (perhaps an homage) and felt pretty well taken care of.
Coming straight to Dubai is a bit of a culture shock. Indoor palm trees? We had to go off base to see outdoor palm trees.
We did have one bit of green on base…

Our Last Night at COB Basra
Sunday, February 13, 2011
We had a nice cook out thanks to George, brats on the grill and alkoholfrei Lowenbrau and a few friends.
Tomorrow Carolyn and I part ways again after a fun two weeks together.

The Brits had the base first and left their marks here and there.
