fairly lengthy length at the airport, and a short ride in a bus right
out of Mad Max. Kabul is surrounded by humongous mountains, and there
is very little vegetation. Other than that, I haven't seen too much
of Kabul and I am leaving on Friday for Herat, near the Iranian border.
I have included a link below to pictures I have uploaded on flickr.
What you'll see are pictures of the sunrise from Manas, our luxurious
plane ride to Kabul International airport (flying in a windowless is
an interesting experience, and as you'll see the lights turned red
when to indicate we entered Afghan airspace and had to remain in our
seats, the landing was also interesting and fun), the bus that took
us to Camp Phoenix from the airport (a 15 min ride), and a few
pictures from Camp Phoenix.
Internet in Herat will be near dial-up speeds so it might be a while
before I can share more pictures. Like I said, you'll want to jump on
the first flight to Afghanistan after seeing the pictures, or you can
join the Navy reserves!
