In the summer of 1967, I met Paul W. English, Professor of Geography at the University of Texas. He was in Herat for the summer visiting and learning about the city. Through him, I was introduced to Richard N. Frye, who was also visiting in Herat. At Paul English's suggestion, I traveled with Dr. Frye on a trip from Herat up the Hari Rud (Herat River) to the shrine at Chest-i-Sharif, about 90 miles east of Herat. I went because I was interested in any excuse to travel in Afghanistan. (At this time I was working in the Herat branch of the National Tourist Office.) I had no real idea who Dr Frye was until much later. All I knew at the time was that he and his son were great traveling companions and that Dr Frye was very learned about Afghanistan. This is a picture of a camel and her baby along side the road. All of the camels in the area of Herat were of the "one humped" dromedary variety.

Alongside the road we also saw a number of caves in the mountain side. Dr Frye speculated about the purpose of the caves and wondered if they could have been Buddhist in origin but we didn't stop to explore.

Near the bus station in Obeh. The older man in the center is wearing shoes/sandels made from recycled automobile tires. On the hike mentioned earlier I was confused to see tire tracks on a trail that couldn't have been made by a motorcycle, much less a car. I later realized the tracks were made by such shoes. <br> The Blair Brainard Peace Corps in Afghanistan Photographic Collection captures the photographers experience as a Peace Corps volunteer in Afghanistan, primarily in the city of Herat, 1965-1968.- Creator

Another view of the tea house. On the right are three women Peace Corps volunteers. Women Peace Corps volunteers rarely if ever wore a chador or had to cover their hair like many Afghan women in the rural areas of the country. I used to say there were three sexes and three sets of rules for the country at that time. Men Afghan and foreign were free to do whatever. Afghan women had to observe local custom which would mean a full covering chador or at least a headscarf in rural areas. And finally women Peace Corps volunteers who were unique as they had many of the male privileges of dress but could at the same time were able to meet with Afghan women in all the women's areas. Standing on the far right is my good friend and co-worker in the Herat Tourist Office Fazlul Haq Nawa.

A second trip to the Obeh hot springs. This is the bus we traveled on as it stopped for a rest and to pick-up and unload passengers. Sometimes they just stopped to add water to the radiator. Animals on the bus almost always traveled up top. People riding on top got a better view and less crowding, but more road dust. Just inside the open front door is Madeline, my future wife. Generally foreigners were give the best seats on the bus. <br> The Blair Brainard Peace Corps in Afghanistan Photographic Collection captures the photographers experience as a Peace Corps volunteer in Afghanistan, primarily in the city of Herat, 1965-1968.- Creator
