Kebabs from our goodbye party:

From Goodbye Party

Yep, I said goodbye party.  Joey and I are leaving Kabul tomorrow evening.  We don't know if it's forever, but it's at least for a year.  I've been working on a post about the why, where, and what's next for awhile.  Some posts are just no fun to write.  But we're excited to spend Thanksgiving in Washington with my family.  It's just very hard to say goodbye to this city we love so much.

There's something unusual about this picture.  Can you spot it?

Taking it to the streets

You may have been reading about demonstrations in Kabul.  So far they have been peaceful, albeit angry groups.  These were taken by a friend.  The Hawk and I were in a car on the other side of this road attempting to drive into the city.  We made the decision to turn around and go home.

Picture of the Week-ish

Look at this picture carefully.  Notice that all of the signs are for pharmacies and doctor's offices, notice the names of the stores.
