Afghanistan & Egypt in the time of the plague

[netllama]

Its been about 14 months since I spent time in Afghanistan, yet I still think of it often.  This article from a few days ago covers the infamous Salang Pass.  The second from last photo that I shared in the first post was taken on the pass.  That pass, and the road passing through it was absolutely insane at the time.  From the article, it sounds like little and everything has changed in the intervening months.  

For anyone interested in seeing more of my photos from the drive over Salang Pass, see the last row here, and most of the photos here.  It includes a photo from inside one of the infamous tunnels.

While new problems have captured much of the world's attention, Afghanistan remains in a perilous state, politically and economically.
