Ted,

It is really cool to see the pictures that you found of Afghanista. The mountains are pretty incredible. You did a good job with summarizing the main ideas.

Next Post for tomorrow (Thursday) morning:
Write a bio of Ted (you can check a bio of me at http://www.sharpteam.org/?ShowPage=LizaBiography

It should have a good description of who you are, at least two links and a picture. We will look at it together tomorrow morning.
