Good Morning!!!!I saw this jet ski for sale on the side of one of the main roads to the airport and made our driver turn around so we could take a picture... just not something I thought I'd see here. Well, I was wrong again. I'm told there is a beautiful large lake just outside Kabul that is a playground for the local Afghans. Of course the women cannot go swimming in the presence of the men... at least in anything we would consider a bathing suit. Asa tells me her family goes to this lake often for picnics and there they rent jet skis. I'm now envisioning an Afghan woman jetting around this lake in a burka!!
The only water I see around here is the Kabul River. Unlike the flooding going on in Pakistan (our neighbor), the rain just has not come here so the river is quite low. Being so low, it's obvious all the trash that's been dumped in the river and it stinks pretty bad. But ocassionally we still see kids playing in it... I'm talking really gross river. Like our own Merrimack River used to be when we were kids.
Today's blog hug goes to ............... my dear friends, loyal blog followers and avid jet ski riders Mike and Lisa Brien xxxx00000
Thanks Gail!!! Big hugs back!!! I'll have to give you a WILD ride when you get back. Or better yet, get your boating license and you can take one out.

Aloha Gail....MISS YOU--especially now that we're "under the 40 day mark" for Adam-Katie's wedding. I've got the rehearsal dinner all set and things are shaping up nicely for a good time. Needless to say, it WON'T be as great as if YOU---the conspirator -- were there. But we all love and bless you for doing what you're doing -- obviously making a HUGE difference.
