Well I talked with many of you during my visit home. Thanks for the inspiration to continue on with the blog. You never know how many folks are actually reading, getting information, and/or enjoying until you can touch base in one way or another.
I arrived unscathed safely a couple of days ago. What a change in Kabul. I left a dry Kabul to return to a messy one. It has rained and snowed often this month and you can definately see it. In fact we landed in the rain. My first night, still being on a much different time zone internally, I woke up a few times and actually witnessed the rain turn to a wintery mix and soon thereafter large flakes of accumulating snow. We awoke the next day to a good inch or so of snow on the ground in Kabul and much more in the mountains. Of course, with poor drainage, as it melted it turned into more and more of a muddy mess. However, as a colleague was stating though they depend on their winter to survive many months of limited precipitation. Without a good wet winter it really hurts the Spring. So it is good even though it is quite the mess.
Vacations are great but often when you return from even a few days off work piles on top of work. You can imagine what the first week has been like after a month. It has been busy. That is good though when trying to readjust. I can't believe my first week back is almost done already.
A few pictures are included of a changed look on campus and in Kabul all from my new camera. I love this little point and shoot although it is a big change from my great pro camera. Hope you enjoy as well.
