Departure

It will be a sad good bye no doubt.  The people of Afghanistan offer so much of their good hearts.  The fact that their land is lodged between world super-powers has never been their fault.  They are strong and proud and have the potential for greatness...not in the way greatness is often measured by our individualistic consumerism.  Enough lamentations.

I am off to the airport in a few hours, and will be checking with Aman, the security adviser to see that it is safe to do so.  An American killed Afghan civilians this morning in the Panjwai district - my heart goes out to all of the families who are suffering.

The nights remains cold, and living in these tents has resulted in dozens of preventable deaths this month

Argh...no photos today as the system is acting silly and  won't upload
Well, I will leave it at that then.
I should be on Canadian soil in about 36 hours.

Be safe,

Jodi
