3K001 A trip from Herat to Chesht-i-Sharif
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.

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
