Well,
Turkey day has come and gone here in Afghanistan. Lunch was awesome, although not served by any surprise guest servers of political persuasion. The meal included: Turkey, ham, crab legs, gumbo, steamship round, vegetables, mashed potatoes, yams, salad, shrimp cocktail and was topped of with a pile of deserts including pumpkin pie, apple pie, and my personal favorite...Baskin Robbins Mint Chocolate chip ice cream. They even had sparkling fruit juice in bottles for us to drink!
Needless to say, after lunch most of us went into our triptophan (misspelled I'm sure) coma and didn't accomplish a whole lot (including my daily trip to the gym). But I did wind up just snacking my way through the rest of the day on cookies, nuts and other goodies sent to me and my hooch mates from home. Thanks for all the snacks.
The weather has moved in for the last two days, with rain and plummeting temperatures. Once the clouds clear I hope to grab some pix of the mountains covered in snow, so expect a posting early next week.
I hope everyone has a happy Thanksgiving; enjoy the family and friendships.
Monty
