Here and There

Yesterday was filled with errands all about town. Scott and I retrieved our normal vehicle from the service/repair facility in eastern Kabul (you wouldn't believe how fast you go through oil and air filters!), delivered some documents to a couple of other offices around town, and stopped by one of the Army posts to mail off a letter. The day started off gray and cloudy in true Seattle fashion. By noon the rain had turned to snow and we spent the afternoon looking at some of the biggest snowflakes I have ever seen.

I awoke to my first cold here. With everything that my body has been getting used to since arriving, I am surprised that it took so long and that it is only a cold.

In other news: the roadside bombing that occurred yesterday (Monday) was in the Bakwa district of Farah province. Farah is located on the Afghanistan-Iran border just south of Herat.
