Yesterday I got my bikes and baggage back from Iraq--a footlocker, a duffel bag, my rucksack and two bike boxes. The are both broken so tomorrow I will take the to Bike Line of Lancaster to get repaired. I will leave at least one and maybe both in Philadelphia. The bikes I took to Iraq are single speeds. They are not great for Lancaster but good for Philadelphia where the city is flat.
I have not completely unpacked, but it seems strange that I had all this stuff in Iraq. I haven't seen it since November so I forgot what I packed for shipment home.
