Mar. 3, 1978 - Afghanistan

We spent a warm night in spite of cold outside thanks to two quilts and a wood fire.  After breakfast we left for Kabul at 8 and stopped for a panoramic view of the Buddhas from the hotel across the valley.  

 Scenic and uneventful drive back; 7 instead of  9 hours.

We did see a buzkashi  game organizing on a wide plateau but decided not to wait until it started.  It would have been great to watch. (Buzkashi involves fast horses, skilled horsemen and a calf carcass.)
