So today I was able to go to the NEW carpet shop on the ANA base. They have rugs in there from $50.00 to $6,000. There are some beautiful rugs in there, some Persians, Afghan, and Turkmen, and the lot, Silk on silk hand tied, silk on wool, wool on wool, sheeps wool and camels wool. Here are some pictures of some of carpets. There are some very nice Herat carpets that are camels wool and sheep wool they are anywhere from $100 to $400 dollars depending on size type of die and how many knots are in them. The top carpet is an Herat carpet about $100 and the bottom is an Afghan car[et can't remember the tribe but really nice $250. Herat is famous for carpets.

Nice that you could get out to the market. The rugs are beautiful. Can you buy a small one for your room? It might help with the cold this winter. It must be getting colder there by now. Do you have snow on the mountains yet.
