Bus Ride

So we boarded the buses and were escorted through the country, despite being briefed that this was a high profile mission, we quickly began to question that theory because every town we went through we would go at break neck speeds and cars were literally at times shoved off the roads.  The scenes in the towns were something out of the movies.  Meat hanging in the shops, men sitting in cafes, women in head dresses and shopping.  At times this all felt surreal except for the fact that I was the one on the bus in the ACU's jet lagged.  


We drove through all sorts of terrain, mountains, desserts, cities, small remote villages, like I was on a quick whirlwind tour of a 3rd world country and we had to get it all in in a short amount of time.
