Welcome to Afghanistan

My sister sent me some pictures she took during our trip to Afghanistan. Although I did not take the pictures I stood right next to her when she did take them.

Kabul Airport
Remnants of the wars downtown Kabul
Barbur Garden, Kabul
Near the Kabul Museum. This was the primary location used in 'At Five in the Afternoon'.
Homes Kabul
Mosque at Barbur Garden
Kabul Sky

River near Jalalabad
The nomadic people of Afghanistan live in tents outside town. There are clusters of tents within the city of Kandahar now.

That's us dressed and posing just before our Afghan wedding experience. Moments after this picture was taken we were covered from head to toe and found ourselves on a bus with hundreds of sweaty, freshly permed ladies driving aimlessly around Kandahar.

Dala Lake, outside Kandahar. Probably the most beautiful lake I have ever seen.
River in Kandahar
Burqa at Sai Baba Memorial, Kandahar
Mosque, Kandahar
Mosque door, Kandahar

Cinema in the market, Peshawar, Pakistan. Only men attend the picture shows and it seemed that only men were allowed in the market as well. Ignorance is bliss.
