Bagram visit

Bagram is an ancient city in Parwan province and now an important US air base . My last outing in Afghan soil was a drive to Bagram. The landscape enroute is amazingly beautiful and the road is lonely. Nothing much to see in Bagram except for its buildings in mud architecture and a busy muddy shopping area that sells cheap chinese and other foreign goods- a favourite shopping spot for locals and expats alike .
