Milestone 1 in the photo is the sign telling us we'd basically gone from the Green Zone to the Red Zone. Normally I did this driving just a regular car and with no gun. Tip if you ever have to drive in a war zone or third world country, never drive a clean car. Never ever wash your car as it will instantly peg you as an American. As for milestone 1 in my health I am now able to eat almost all fruits and vegetables!!
Milestone 2 in the photo is the Via Appia Antica. Or more commonly known in the western world as the Appian Way. Where Rome crucified thousands, where Paul entered Rome, where you can still walk or drive on 2,000 year old stones. One of the times I was in Rome I rented a scooter to ride out to the Jewish and Christian catacombs outside of Rome and then back into Rome and around some of the main attractions. It was a super fun thing, like a living Roman Holiday as it were. Milestone 2 in my health comeback is literally dealing with number two. For the first time I went "normally" today!!
Milestone three in the photo could more accurately be called Kilometerstone three. It is a km marker up in the Atlas mountains of Morocco heading back towards Marrakesh. Milestone 3 for my health will be passed on Monday when my wound vac is scheduled to come off. So I will just have a more conventional wound dressing until totally healed, another two weeks or so.I am getting better! I am getting better!! Passing milestones and I'm putting my foot down to the floor, twisting my wrist all the way.
Glad to hear your doing better! And to hear of some of your globetrotting!
