Backyard View

The view from the yard of the Pamiri House we visited in Langar, Tajikistan. Though the locals take it for granted, we were blown away by the layered landscape and how the autumn leaves play off the snow-capped mountains in the background. It's all about perspectives.

Newlywed

This woman greeted us in English, which surprised us, and then invited us into her home in Langar, Tajikistan. She had studied English for two years in Khorog and then became a teacher in the village school in Langar, but had to stop working when she got married. She was eager to practice her English and seemed excited to have engagement with someone outside her family.Read more about our adventures in the Pamirs.  

Pamiri Hospitality

We visited a traditional Pamiri home in the village of Langar, Tajikistan and were welcomed with fresh, homemade bread and warm milk literally straight from the cow (we saw her outside when we first walked in). The man seated was our host the previous night. He (and his children) have light hair and blue eyes, a visual surprise for us. We asked his roots and were told that Pamiris with lighter features are descended from Macedonians who settled in the area under Alexander the Great (300 BC). If true, those are some strong genes!Read more about our adventures in the Pamirs.

Staying Warm
