Hello everyone! I have to sincerely apologize for the lack of blogs. We have had lots on the go and I have not been as diligent as I should have been....
Here are some additional photo's from the Kyber Rifles. The grounds were quite lavish with all types of exotic birds wandering around or in an enclosure. The picture of the large tree with the cage around it was full of parakeets, budgies, etc. You can also see the tree has chains and locks on it. The explanation is written on a sign which states:
"I am under arrest. One fine evening British officer after drinking heavily thought that I was moving from my original place. Then ordered Mess Sergeant to arrest me. Since then I am under arrest."
As I reflect back on this particular trip, I realize how fortunate I am to have had such an experience. When I mention this trip to the various folks I work with, they are all very envious. The opportunity just does not present itself that often. In fact, my predecessor had tried numerous times to make the same trip, however was not successful...truly an incredible experience in a very historic part of the world.
Stay tuned for more blogs...
While since I am up, I am going to be the first to post on your blog. Nice to see this blog from you was wondering where you went, but knew you were busy. Dave, winter has hit us here. I think we must have got around 15 cm's of snow. I cannot believe how green and alive this looks after some of the other pictures you have posted. Considering just outside those walls you are back to the sand and such.
ReplyDeleteTake care big brother and talk soon.
Dave, your blog is an outstanding counterpoint to the Afghanistan we read about in the press. Thanks and good job.
