073012 Fridays mean a nice meal.

It's tough to 'blog' at times.  Sometimes just nothing really happens that stands out and it's just another day.  Fridays sometimes do stand out since it's possible to have a nice meal on those days.  In order to get though you have to leave this base and walk about 10 minutes to another base.  Both bases (HQ ISAF and Camp Eggers) are in the Kabul 'green zone' so it's considered...safer than being outside the 'green zone'.  The green zone is an area that has extra patrols and identification stops.  The last big Taliban attack occurred in the green zone so it's good to be one's guard 'outside the castle walls.'  Anyway, steak and chicken is grilled, (as you can see) and there's an outdoor seating area and overall it can be quite a pleasant experience.
