12 December 2006, two posts in one day. Of course, the first post was to recognize my recognition...if that makes sense. This post is today's post. I made it ['outside the wire' today having to run all over Kabul. I found that the smog haze that sits over north Kabul disappears the farther south in Kabul you drive. For some of the soldiers and airperson I took with me this was their first trip to the camp located in south Kabul. Going through downtown was a treat as they didn't really know what to expect.

A nice little old lady

in a burka walked up

to my vehicle while we

were stuck in traffic and was asking for money, I rolled down my window and gave her a dollar. She walked back to the vehicle behind me and held up her index finger indicating "1"for a dollar. They thought we had upset her and they locked their doors and tried to get her to leave because she was "shaking a finger at them".

But you could also

buy all your fresh

vegtables, fruits

and meats right

there off the street.We pulled over and bought some peanuts from a street vendor on the way back.

Tomorrow I will post the rest of the trip, and hang on, I still haven't posted the bazaar picture yet either. Guess I need to get busier. Well, I'm headed off to Ab Lab as I skipped out last week. Be safe and have a good day.
