021408 Old Church at Mosul/Water rationing is over

Recently a coworker returned from Mosul. Mosul is the third larget city in Iraq and is the heart of the Kurd regions. Iraq is (very) roughly 1/3 Sunni, 1/3 Shite and 1/3 Kurd. on the Army base at Mosul is an early Christian church. It's not much, as you can see from the pics below but it was built in 400 AD so in that sense it's quite impressive. I've been in the King's tomb at Ur in southern Iraq and while they pulled some valuable stuff out of the tomb, the tomb itself is rather unimpressive (and it stinks to high heaven due to pigeons!)

Also the water situation stabilized two days ago so we're back to 'normal' for now. Of course we're still 'encouraged/required' to take 3 minute showers. I'm not sure whether the Army paid the guy off or dug another trench to the river but things are 'fine' again.
