Afghan Woman Drumming, Afghan Market Outside Khorog, Tajikistan

Afghanistan lies just a short walk across a bridge over the Panj River from the Afghan Market on the Tajik side of the border. Afghan market vendors walk their goods across the village from their nearby home villages on the other side of the river. The Afghan people are perhaps the most beautiful people I have ever encountered. They are tremendously present, warm, and hospitable, often offering to buy me lunch at the market if I am hungry.
