The Tigris River







The Tigris has so many uses for the locals:



Swimming



Washing clothes



Washing their cars & trucks



Dumping garbage & other assorted types of waste



The livestock also enjoy cooling off with a swim (usually they are together with the kids, but not today when I took the picture)



A few camels sometimes join the fun down by the river



Irrigating their crops






It's family fun for all!






But heck, if that's the only way I could cool off here, I'd probably jump in also!
