Notes of a journey: Afghanistan- Kabul |
|
Tuesday, 30 April 2013 07:24 |

“This article captures only a portion of the overwhelming experience of our trip to Kabul.”
María Elvira Bonacorsi, OP - General Prioress of “Santa Caterina di Siena”
September 15 – 20, 2012
Roma - Kabul

I see small houses, attached to the mountains. Where people actually live. What do they live on? Contrasting feelings fill me as the plane lands: I soon observe military aircraft and many armed soldiers on the runway. Yes, I have truly reached Kabul. There is war in Afghanistan.
