The Promised Photos

Hey everbody, sorry for the delayed post.  We have been incredibly busy and are finishing up today.  We have had a great experience and wish we could spend more time here.  We promised pictures, so here you go.  Keep in mind this is taking three hours to post.  So, here’s a taste of what we’ve been up to.

We met a member of the Taliban yesterday morning, he was cool.  He bought bread at the same shop we did.  He had a really fancy hat. We conned our way into the US Military Base in Kabul and met some fantastic people.  We got invited to go to a secret base on the Pakistan/Afgahnistan border, but ran out of time.  Next time…

Everything else is going well and we’re excited to put everything together. Thanks to everyone who has been following!

Busy and Safe

We haven’t been able to update the blog for two reasons.  One: the internet conncection is unbelievably slow.  Two: We’ve simply been too tired and busy.  We promise we will give a big update soon.  For now, here’s some food for thought.

Rule number 1: Don’t drink the tea. 

Believe us, we learned the hard way.  Everyone here wants to give you tea when you come into their house.  It’s such a nice gesture, especially when you find out it’s pretty much the only thing they have to eat, except bread.  However, our stomaches are pissed off that we drank it.  Immoduim AD here we come–and possibly cipro.  

Other than that, things are going relatively well.  We had an amazing day yesterday and got some great footage.  We brought a couple poor kids to the clinic and we able to get them some much needed dental treatment.  They were good kids. 

We have another extremely busy day ahead of us today and we wish we had more time here.  It’s such an amazing place and there is so much to see and shoot.  I guess we’ll just have to wait til next time.

Thanks again for the comments, etc.
