Lake Qargha, near Kabul, is a resevior that collects the snowmelt from the mountains surrounding Kabul. It's Kabul's primary water source. I attended a seminar sponsored by some military colleagues at Qargha Lake.
The green trees and clear, blue water are a nice change from the dusty, brown streets of Kabul.
We enjoyed kebobs made from lamb, beef and chicken. This was a rare opporunity for me to get away from the Embassy compound and enjoy some local food and culture.
In my job, I work closely with Colonel Tony Zabek (right), who is Brigadier General Safiullah's (center) advisor on military prisons. Safiullah is a former Mujahedeen fighter, now with the Afghan National Army.
