Last of Katherine's pictures from Herat is this scene of all the local dignitaries coming out to stand on the runway and see her off. Or perhaps they were there to greet some other dignitary. We may never know.

Guatemala? Rio de Janeiro? Huh?
This journal once chronicled the experience of a low-level American diplomat living in Guatemala. Then he went to Latvia, and Afghanistan, and then back "home" to Washington, DC for a bit. He is now serving in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. If you are one of the few people of no blood relation to the authors who has come here in search of Guatemalan content, here are a few choices from the archives that we like:
* Visiting a Family in Tactic
* Political Grafitti
* The Ixil Triangle
In Latvia, our editorial philosophy shifted to more frequent, much shorter posts and more photography. Here are a few nice examples:
* The Rothko Museum
* Frozen Baltic Sea
* Song Festival
In Afghanistan, the photographic opportunities were often limited to what we could sneak with a point-and-shoot camera out the bulletproof window of a speeding SUV. But sometimes we got out and about. A few favorites from that tour:
* Street Scene in Kabul
* USAID Doing Good in Bamyan
* Two Security Details in Khogyani
We've also vacationed aggressively in each region we've been posted in, and taken some epic home leave trips, usually leading to better photos than those where we were posted. Those photos are included in the blog, but somehow holiday snaps seem beneath this sidebar.
