After we finished construction of the pump, we headed to the little village outside of Shaartuz to check out the possible locations for the 12 wells that our Host is going to construct. We traveled along rolling hills but the closer we got to Afghanistan, the more dry and arid the terrain became. We stopped at a “rest stop” along the way…not quite the kind we have here in the States…no Star Bucks or Cinnabon but there was a half-broken down structure and hole.
