Down in Kandahar

So we finally arrived in Kandahar about 7pm. We then sat on a bus for 10 minutes till it finally left the ramp to go to the other side of the airport. We were at the terminal for about an hour till they finally brought our bags. The first transient tents, right near everything, that they tried to put us in were full as well as dirty and nasty.

Since we hadn't eaten since lunch we went to TGI Fridays at the "Boardwalk." Yes you read the last sentence correctly...pictures to follow later. When it was my time to order I requested the "Tennessee Burger." Waiter said they were out of bacon so it would just be a cheeseburger...fine. Is your ice tea sweet? "Sir we are out of ice tea." OK, I'll just have water. "Sir, we are out of water." You don't have water!!! "No sir." OK (pointing to some pink lemonade thing in the menu) do you have that? "Yes sir." Fine, I'll take that. It was good but not worth the $20 (they include a 12% tip in the price of your already overpriced meal).

Went to new area away from everything, except flightline, and billeted in tent with cots, not bunk beds, and only two other guys in the tent. And as you see wifi.
