Saturday is Bazaar Day in more ways than one

Today my friend was here so we toured the Afghan operation, since he does the same job at a different location.  We spent some time with the Afghan Colonel and toured the facilities.  There was continuity between both locations, so that's a good thing.  At least they are being consistent.

We went for a driving tour and came across these guys washing their vehicles in the river.  Who would think to back up two big rigs in the river and wash them?  Too funny!

Then we came across this guy who was doing de-mining operations.  He flagged us down and at first I thought we were driving in the direction of mines, so we stopped.  He spoke english very well and told us the history of de-mining and how long he'd been doing it (since 1991).  Interesting conversation...he hadn't found any mines in the last week.

We spent some time after lunch at the bazaar, but didn't buy anything.  Since it was so hot, we drove by Tim Horton's for an iced cappuccino...too refreshing and they went too quick!

On our way back to FOB Lindsey, we stopped to take a picture of the apartment building.  Not sure if it'd been bombed in the original attack in 2001 or if it is just falling apart.
