Kabobs and Rain

We recently took a trip around the PRT to visit some projects. It was raining, but we were still able to stop and get some kabobs at a local restaurant. They make the best pepper kabobs in the area.



Just remember: Mud and Rain probably don't mix. Good luck guys!

Flight out of the Valley

All Kitted up!

My Ride!!

Love the smog line

Just like coming over the mountains in the LA

An isolated village up at 8000 feet. Damn cold up there.

Jeremy's coming home!!

And in less than two months!  He got a job with an organization here in D.C., working on their India program.  Metro commuting in respectable clothes will definitely be a change from tromping up mountains in his combat boots, but I think he'll adjust.  We're looking forward to decorating the house and living like a (normal) married couple ...

Trip in the Snow

Recently took a trip to see if I could get to some villages for my projects. Unfortunately, the snow was still too deep for us to get to the cutoff villages. So we visited some other villages, talked and handed how some equipment and supplies to the villagers. It was a great trip and as you can see, the weather was beautiful. But the change is tremedous from the area we visited to some other areas of Panjshir. It's warm enough to see wheat growing in some areas and in others, you still have two feet of snow. Just incredible the diversity of Afghanistan.
