These pictures aren't actually mine.

Sarah, please forgive me. I am giving all picture credit to you.

Danny, this is for you. So close, but so far. Bagdad, 800... something.
I don't remember the unit of measurement 

It's ok guys, my life is just awesome. I have views like this as I walk down the street. 

Again with the jumping picture. You'd think we'd be getting more creative at this point 

I love these people more than I ever thought possible 

I guarantee you that our sand castle is cooler than yours. Guarantee. 

Cooler, and nerdier. Case mate walls, a six chamber gate, a tunnel, hieroglyphs, a market place, houses with domed roofs, a theater, some sort of cistern or something, and a temple mount complete with Robinson's arch, double and triple gate, and a temple facing east. Bam. Beat that.
