All quiet in Kabul
Nothing new except for a spike in intestinal IgE. I'm ok with it--it means I've been eating adventurously. I think it came from some homemade samosa things deep-fried to a flaky perfection with mashed potatoes, veggies and spices inside, but maybe from the ice or water in a tangy but unidentifiable pink drink. Both things my expat companions shied away from; both things went in (and came out of) my gullet fast. Ha! Sorry. Its really nothing out of control , no worries.
I think it did take its toll on me a bit though, because last night I slept from 1800 to 0600 straight. By this morning my poor foam matress was indented so much by my body, it felt like I was climbing out of a canoe!
Going to watch the Germany-Argentina game at the Germany Embassy compound. Should be fun and crowded, and they have a nice restaurant there, projection screen outside, and the best beers. I realize it may not be the best place to be if Germany gets beaten. Is beer as tasty if its shared with crabby Germans?

Hope you all are having fun!
I'll be here in Kabul until I fly to Pak on Monday.

Hello Daughter, Again getting caught up with you; it's dizzying. Stay safe.
I love reading about all of this and you are absolutely GLOWING in all of your pictures! (And it's not just your tan! :) Keep embracing each and every moment like you are! Did you cheer for England? I myself have never seen so many grown men cry! It is a sad day in England today.... Love you super much and keep it all coming!
love you! Monkey Chowder
auntie mary says you are drinking too much & not working enough.
Im too busy to read all your blogs, but keep them up
see you soon. love xoxoxoxo
Auntie Mary drinks too much herself. Remember that time in Madison when I had to....ah forget it, this blog is too wildly popular, she'd never live it down.
What to do you mean you don't read all the posts? WELL, fine, but when I come visit in August I don't want to be answering all kinds of questions that the faithful blog-readers would already know (i know who you are and you are my favorites.)
And Mooooonkeeeey,
You sound glowing too, as usual. I wish I were there with you for more London adventures and shopping in the markets. You probably need to replace that strappy top you got at Kings Cross, no? I know exactly what park you are talking about in Bath. I stumbled upon a free concert there by the Three Tenors a few years ago. It was absolutely amazing. I'll come visit in August and want to see pictures and hear stories. Miss you!

stay safe.
