Having fun with the girls...

Eating giardia cones!

There is a reason for this name!! Since the machines don't always get cleaned out well, and since they use the river water to make the ice cream...there is always a high chance that you could get giardia! Luckily I just had 2 bouts of giardia and was on Flagyl when I was given not one, but TWO cones!

(L-R) Shamsi, Robina, and Farzana

I wanted Shamsi and Robina to show off their pregnant bellies. Farzana jumped into the picture to contrast their bellies with her very flat figure! It was pretty funny!! I just love that these girls can have a lot of fun!!! For living in a male-dominated society, it is great to just have fun with them!! They deserve it!

Showing off their bellies!

Shamsi and I posing for a picture. They stopped at this bridge just so I could get a picture! We were on our way back from the village of Baseen.


A video of one of the streets of Gilgit. We were dropping off one of the girls for the day. This is one of the wider streets...still only made for one-way driving though!



When you meet a vehicle coming the other direction, one of you has to back up. In this case the other vehicle had to backtrack a little. No one seems to get angry at the other...seems like they all know who has the right-of-way!

  2. Yes, the cones were gross! They had a strange flavor. Definitely NOT worth the risk of giardia! ha
