Sundays in Afghanistan

Hey folks, welcome to another installment. Sunday's are my favorite day here because we go "casual" and take it easier. We still work, but we wear our PT clothes (shorts/t-shirt) and only go to the office for a few hours. Or at least try. I was in for a while today, but I really didn't want to do anything else. I had an electrical issue to straighten out and I caught up on some e-mails. Nobody came knocking on my door looking for something, so that alone makes it a good day. It gives me something to look forward to each week.

A few more pics to share from the Boardwalk. This one is a view of Tim Horton's, which is Canadian for Dunkin' Donuts. (I think Tim Horton is a famous hockey player that got into the coffee/pastry business up north. Take off, eh!)


This is a shot from the corner at Tim Horton's looking down one side of the Boardwalk. Notice the fast food joints.


And here is the American icon, Burger King. I haven't tried any of the food yet. I ordered a diet coke the other day hoping to get a cup with ice and soda, but all I got was a can of soda. Cool at best. What is the deal with no ice around here!


Well, time for bed here in Afghanistan. Take care, stay in touch, and thanks for the kind thoughts/prayers. They are well received.

Later,

-Dave
