To Be ... "Oh, Lord,Won't You Buy Me A Mercedes Benz?"
this is where we stayed, writes Rich to Karen.... this place used to be a bootcamp for the Iraqi army. the mercedes was found by the spec op guys. the seabees got it running an drive it around camp sometimes. the army officers were pretty jealous.

I never looked at the model. I think it was probably an erly '90s model. We didn't get to spend much time with it, but along with getting their generator going, the Secret Squirrels were pretty appreciative.
I had a 1979 Mercedes. What a trip that car was. Diesel. I had to garage it and plug it in when it got in the 60's! The windows wouldn't go down (electric) but it had a sunroof that worked (I think, surely!)and it had the most beautiful blue body I've ever seen.
Aaron liked it to be seen in, but it had no take off power.
Looking back now, I wish now that I had paid more attention to things like this and had more fun. I was too busy sweating bullets about making everything go right and not screwing up.
I'm sure it goes with the territory, Rich. I'd have been the same way.
I have more than a couple of regrets about Panama. Didn't take enough time for what's lasting.
You did great.
