Bus stop oasis
near Gardez, Afghanistan
My brother Brian and I were taking a bus from Ghazni to Gardez, along a roadless track in the eastern province of Paktia. The packed mini-bus just drove through the dusty valleys whereever traction was best. It stopped by a stream where a stall sold tea and the men could wash, and sit on a carpeted patio over the stream.
