Or, good day in Italian and Spanish. Italy's army (esercito) is in charge of the west region of Afghanistan for the coalition. They help run the local airport, mentor the Afghans and provide humanitarian aid. They set up a pizzeria here at Camp Stone where you can have interesting combos of toppings for around $6. One has started an Italian class twice weekly and I attended the first session on the 20th. He is teaching for free. Grazie! Shown is their logo for this mission.
Also shown is lunch with the Spanish contingent. Spain's army (eserjito) also provides mentoring and humanitarian help. They get Fridays off like we do (Muslim sabbath) and have a convivial lunch every week. We were invited and enjoyed the paella and turron (like Italian torrone, made with eggs, sugar and almonds). Gracias!
