Masoud Circle, almonds and coffee

Forgive the blur at the top....
Not such a great picture but right now this is a restricted area for us. These were taken at 20-25 mph on the way to the site.... It's Masoud Circle...

Masoud was an Afghan fighter that fought hard for his side and killed over 100 Russian Soldiers. After the invasion was over he was killed by his own people because he was believed to be getting too powerful. Whenever there are demonstrations in Kabul they mostly happen here.



This is an almond tree from my back yard. I would have sworn they were some variety of immature peaches but Baba says almonds.



This is the inside of 'Cabul Coffee House'...Sorry that it's a little blurry, I'll work on getting a better one.
This is the 'courtyard' of the coffee house, not quite Starbucks but it is still great.
