Week One

Week one
We got off the plane and onto another bus. Before leaving the airport area two soldiers on the bus were issued ammo to protect us. The hour ride clearly showed that we were in another country but the look and smell reminds me of Odessa Texas where I grew up. As we drove I saw mounds of trash on the side of the road and rows of trees planted one beside the other, none taller than 15 or 20 feet. The Kuwait Police escorted us to the base. As we entered the base we were stopped at two checkpoints and then finally allowed to enter. All that could be seen from the bus was a tall mound of sand. This sand mound I would later find out was the limits of the base. Sand sand everywhere is sand, and no color. What happened to this country? The Bible says that it was green and full of life at one time. With exception of an occasional lizard I have seen nothing that resembles any kind of wild life.
