So this is my little makeshift shelter that we made when we stayed outside the other night. It was raining really hard with lightning and thunder. It was crazy. We had some flash flooding back on our camp. It was like a river
rushing through the outside of our camp. It washed down some of our retaining walls. A lot of the roads got some heave damage and lots of debris across them. There was one car that got washed into the ditch. The people were OK though. Other then that, it has not been to bad here. It has still been hot when it is not raining.
Well if you all don't know, there are huge poppy crops here. The afghan poppy supplies 90% of the worlds heroin. It is being eradicated, but it is still a problem. We cannot do anything about it though, as it is dealt with at a higher level.
Well, that's about it for now, so take care and much love. Russ

Camping out, eh? Yes, I have been reading up on the poppy fields and the end product. It is controlled from a HIGHER level. They have to make their money somehow.
Have you heard of the Afridis? They seem to be a rough lot. Have you encountered them?
We really appreciate your blog reports and staying connected.
We send our love.
