Wanderer Weekly #46 – Kabul then Mazar-i-Sharif

It’s week 46 of Stevie Wander’s year-long journey on the Hippie Trail from 50-years ago.  This week we find him in Afghanistan.  He enjoys his stay in Kabul.  A young woman, Marie, has caught his eye and tickled his fancy.  But she’s driving him crazy with her flirting mind games.  The wanderer decides to leave Kabul and head north to Mazar-i-Sharif.  The greatest hashish in the world is in northern Afghanistan, or so the legend of the story goes.  Stevie boards a bus to traverse the primitive rugged terrain on an all-day ride.  Night time he arrives at a Mazar Hotel.  Come hear more of the exciting stories of this once-in-a-lifetime adventure!
