back in kabul. at last!
our travel plans were delayed one day in dubai after several bombings in kabul. all has calmed down now and staff (here and there) gave the all clear to move ahead.
our extra day in dubai was spent sight seeing and bonding as a team. we are all more rested and more connected. i am sure that day of rest will come in handy in the days ahead. judging by the photo below, dubai is a bit different (i.e wealthier, more advanced) than kabul. clearly.
after a short flight, we landed in the "mountain bowl" that is kabul. side note - today's flight is the shortest of our many flights. ironically it is this flight that is traditionally the hardest for me. it was uneventful and all cookies stayed in place. :)
the beautiful blur since landing: seeing familiar faces at the airport, riding through the chaotic traffic (no rules!), warm greetings at the guest house, telling a little bit of our stories, chatting over dinner (kabuli paliau...yum!), making gift bags for the women and families we will visit tomorrow...
to put it mildly, my heart is happy.
