Hello again,
We decided to visit Camp Lemonier, which is a US Military base on the outskirts of town. It is a joint base, in that there are Marines, Navy, Army and Air Force service personnel assigned there. It is a quasi permanent base, and one military fellow said that there are plans to make it a permanent base. That means barracks, and all the facilities that you would find at a up and running military complex. As of right now, the barracks consist of air conditioned tents, and a lot of temporary buildings. Of course we visited the Commissary and PX, to do a little shopping. The items available are quite limited, but adequate for our needs. We saw one sign in the PX that stated "Djibouti is so nice, they named it twice". This refers to the fact that the capitol city is named Djibouti as well as the name of the country.... Djibouti, Djibouti. This is certainly tounge in cheek...
As we walked around the base, we discoverd other little shops and around one corner we ran into a Burger King. Yes, woppers are available here. Of course we tried one, and they are truly stateside woppers. A little touch of home, here in the desert. We plan on making a weekly run to Camp Lemonier just to keep in touch with our stateside personas...
