FOB Smart at 1905
Five projects observed today, including roads, ministry buildings, security upgrades, and a warehouse. Our mission this morning last nearly three hours, with a 30-pound vest and heavy Kevlar helmet, and the walking was good for me. I am constantly struck by the complete difference in lifestyle we observe whenever we are outside the wire. The kids were out in en masse today and they were as friendly as I have seen them. One of my coworkers commented that the kids were flocking to me for some reason. This is probably because I was making an effort to shake hands, give fist bumps, and offer high fives.
I have another longer mission tomorrow that I am looking forward to and am expecting some sort of excitement to be present. Travelling in a military convoy is always interesting... Since we will be going some distance and frequently observing completed construction, I should have good photo opportunities during the mission.
Saturday night is movie night this week. They are playing "Hangover 2." I will likely pass and opt for a movie in my room with a warm blanket and ice-cold air conditioning!
143, K&K.
Good night and good day.
