We had a mission to a local village to conduct a shura (meeting) with the village Elders.
Here are a few pictures of what I saw.

The Afghan policeman is actually looking pretty 70s hip ~ lol!
yes, that was my thought too!
The pic’s are great!!! Sure would like to see inside one of those grape houses. Is that where they dry the grapes to raisins?
the inside consist if sticks made into ‘drying racks’ that they lay the grapes on to dry into raisins. The raisins are very good!
Nice set, Dan.
Thanks
