Just Before Departure

We had time to kill in the Kabul Airport because the plane was late.  So I took a photo of these two mannequins which apparently represent how people dress in Afghanistan.  These people must hang out in a different neighborhood from mine.

We would have gotten some food, but the stall - the ONLY stall in the departure area - was closed.  But among its offerings was the hot dog club sandwich, the vegetable nuggets club, the nuggets combo sandwich (fried chicken nuggets between two slices of bread), and the zinker spicy. 

Once it was time to actually board the aircraft, we walked out directly onto the tarmac and were directed to a big pile of suitcases that included both of ours.  You pick up your bag and load it directly into the plane's cargo hold.  I hope the Teamsters don't find out about this, but we really had no choice.
