Pics from the trip

by blondtwin Email

I'm glad that I got to go to the remote site and get "eyes on" to some of the issues there.  It's one thing to know it intellectually, it's quite another to experience it in person.

I'm just going to show you the fun stuff... Like this sign for the entrance to Afghanistan...

 

This is lovingly called a "jingle truck".

An old soviet tank.  Repurposed.

Delicious lunch.

Me in the MRAP getting ready to go.

Travelling in style...

The toilet.

The kids get AC.  How lucky.  Unless it's blazing hot or freezing cold under that tarp.

Very nice pics! The only one I have a question about is my Wingchick...why does she look exactly the same age as when we worked together? Are you sure you didn't do any Photoshopping? :P
