| Saidjafa with some beautiful dried white mulberries |
Most days our trip would be made up of several stops a day to collect from the many small villages and the crops that surrounded them as we headed to Khorog. We were always welcome and asked in for tea by the locals. Often we would be given apricots, home made bread or apples. Most of the cereal crops we saw were wheat, both awned and awnless, with some crops having up to four deferring types. Rye sown with various mixes of peas and a six row barley that had a greenish tinge to its seed were common. There were fields of potatoes, apricots, apples and white mulberries everywhere we went. Within a few days I have come to the conclusion the Pamirs people are rich in food and culture.
