A new dawn

Its a new day here in Kabul. I just woke up to see the dawn rise over the city. The cockerel crows, and then the dawn chorus starts with all the birds singing as the dark tuns to light. You can hear the call to prayer, and then further afield traffic start up on the road. The dogs are barking as well,and you can hear the drone of an aircraft somewhere in the sky. I have today and tomorrow left in Kabul and then I leave. In someways I am looking forward to going home, there are things happening there that I don't want to miss. But this country has made an impression on me, and even though I know I haven't experienced it in the same way that others have, I still want to return, at least for a short while.
