Canoe and Kayak story

When Katie visited Afghanistan last spring she brought a collapseable canoe, and we paddled a beautiful region of Afghanistan's central highlands, right past where the ancient Buddhas used to be (before the Taliban blew them up).

With help from Katie's brother, Sam (who now works for Outside), I wrote about the trip for Canoe and Kayak magazine, and it's been published in the March edition on sale now, in case anyone is interested in reading it. There is no online version, but I pasted the text of the story at the bottom of this page. (Warning: It's long.)
