Wife in Tajik Dress

On Mother's Day, Sylvia dressed in one of the Tajik dresses I had purchased for her. Thats all hand-done stitching. This isn't typical daily dress, but for special occasions, and Mother's Day qualifies here!


Below you can see some Tajik girls wearing dresses of the same style I photographed in Chorbogh.

after 50 hours

Fifty hours after I left Tajikistan, I walked in the front door of my home, removing my shoes of course.

It was pleasant memories to tell of the gifts I was given as they were unpacked. Only two items broke, one a gift, the other a purchase, but glue should make things better.

I dressed as a Tajik man would dress for class today. I wore my long coat I purchased, a sash that was given to me at the school in Isfara, and a hat I recieved in Sarband.

Thank everyone for the memories, I will begin work soon on expanding the connections between my school and the Tajik friends I made.
