 Venice. The low sun angle tells you that I didn't get there until fairly late. |
|  A gondola in venice. |  Me, on a taxi in venice. |
|  An ambulance, responding to a call. |
 After my month in Vicenza, I headed back to Bosnia via Ramstein Germany. While waiting for my flight to Tuzla, I went to Neustadt for the New Wine Festival. |
 Inside a church in Neustadt, a beautiful Bavarian city. |
|  The Germans really know how to have city festivals. |
 Everything is closed except for the street vending and a few "necessary" stores. |
 From what I saw, the Germans treat holidays as times to be with family and friends, not to go shopping! |
| 
| 
|  Ah, back in Tuzla, the land of the mutant ninja turtles! Basically I was back to pack up and turn over my site to my relief. |
 While getting ready to go home, I learned that the Navy was having trouble finding someone to be the OIC in Sarajevo. Since I now considered myself thoroughly trained, I volunteered for another 180 days! |
 I left Tuzla through Germany again, then took a Navy C-9 to Naples via Sigonella. This is Mt Aetna out the window. |
 Back in Naples, I had a weekend to explore the local area. This is along the coast just south of Naples. |

| 
|  After some briefings at HQ, I boarded the Greek C-130 for the flight to Sarajevo. |
|
 At Sarajevo airport, the Ghanains were going home. |
 The apartment buildings near the airport look abandoned at first sight, but the satelite dishes indicate they are occupied. |
 You see blankets over holes blasted in the walls by artillery. |
 This was one of the most contested areas of the city during the war. |
 The Newspaper building. |  Downtown Sarajevo |  My predecessor, working hard to get things ready for me. |
 We had moved to our new spaces inside the US National Intelligence Center. The spaces were more secure, but much more crowded. |
 But at least I didn't have to sleep with the equipment this time. |
 Once the aircraft arrives onstation, the solitaire game is put on hold. |
 A Tech-rep with the BC2A system which shared our spaces. |
 Workout facilities. |
 The weight-room. I inherited the position of OIC, along with that came the position of lifting partner for the Marine Staff Sergent. |
 Ping-pong at Echoes, the Dutch service support outfit. |
 The Gift Shop in the Terme. |
 The chow line in the Terme. There were several chow halls on the Ilidza base. All had good food. |
