Afghanistan Quote of the Day: 21 February 2014

“The buses had left in convoy at five in the morning. They were all old German stock: ‘Rheingraf Reisen,’ ‘Schul Bus,’ ‘Elsweiler Burken.’ They pitched and tossed, lurched from side to side as if on the high seas, and were overtaken by donkeys.”

Sheila Paine, “The Afghan Amulet: Travels from the Hindu Kush,” 1994
