Dodging Ditches and Running Through Mud Puddles

Josh tried writing me online yesterday (Sunday) and left me this message while I was away...

"We were so busy today. I am so dirty. Another soldier took some pictures and video today that I downloaded to my computer, but I am pooped and do not have the patience to deal with the slowness of downloading it all. We we were up at 4:00 today and finished at around 3:00 this afternoon - I am super tired, but a very successful day. It is amazing to drive here - one minute I am on a four lane highway and the next, I am dodging ditches and running through mud puddles."

I haven't commented lately, but it's been awesome to read Josh's words & see the photos. That's the first time I've gotten a first-, er, second-hand view of life over there. Thanks for posting them.

Josh is going to have a lot of surprises like this over the next few months as he sees how Western culture and affluence and Afgahni culture and poverty sit side by side.

Oh - and be careful going through the puddles - it's not ALL mud!
