All,
I go on leave in three days. We had a huge turnover in the last three weeks so I've been very busy. I have a CD with pictures that I am going to download when I get to the states and share with you all. Our removable media capabilities are disabled becasue of the Wikileaks thingy so I can't up or download anything in theater. The women had their own bazaar yesterday and it was a hit. We also went to the Afghan Women's Garden. Please google it because I will be referring to it in the future. It is an awesome place and the only one in Afghanistan. I got a chance to wear civilian clothes, makeup, earrings and not carry a weapon or protective gear. I was a GIRL for three hours. Cool! I had a shop owner take pictures and send them to me so I can show you the Hazara made quilts but the pictures did not come out well so I will have to get some myself when I get back to Afghanistan. Thanks for your patience. I promise you will be rewarded soon. I am meeting some board members in Atlanta and hopefully in Columbus, OH when I get there. I am so excited. Tchuss! ~Erika.
