Islamabad

Am here shooting the Mennonites Part II. Am staying at the Chancery, a very nice and surprisingly cheap ($50/night) guesthouse, the nicest place I've stayed so far. A far cry from Kabul. The Mennonites were kind enough to take me out to dinner... am not feeling well and the half-hour twisting, turning route up the mountain in the back of their truck didn't do my stomach any wonders. The view from the restaurant was spectacular, but we're just entering monsoon season and a storm blew in so we ate inside. The meal was delicious... the best part was the "fresh-squeezed" mango juice.
