I thought the following travel article from today's New York Times was particularly interesting and sounds like a fascinating trip to some very historical places, such as the Battle of Gaugamela (where Alexander defeated Darius) and a possible location for Noah's Ark. It's an area of one of the cradles of civilization that I would like to visit although that's probably a remote possibility.
Contrary to our perception, the area sounds safe although it's a bit more dicey getting there since the Kurds declared independence last year. When I told my wife about it, she wished me a good trip.
