April in Kabul--Rockets Red Glare

Here we are, the morning after the rocket attack which we heard in the distance that sounded like thunder. From left, standing: Paula, Farah, Toni, Laila, Wendy and seated Pam and Ray.


Yes, we're ok. A rocket was fired at the US Embassy on Wednesday night about 11:00 pm. Rian Harris, our Embassy Contact, said she had to spend the entire night in her bathroom which is where the staff is told to go when the alarm sounds in their apartment building on the Embassy compound.

For Bpeace mission veterans who have now been to Kabul three times (Paula, Toni and Ray), the city feels fine. More roads are paved, the traffic moves better, more women in the streets without burqua, lots of shops open, and trees in bloom. It's not Paris, but this April in Kabul is probably the best the city has seen in years.

Comments:
You all look so wondeful. Glad that all are ok! I can't believe how much you done in the short time that you have been there. i am exhausted just reading about it.
