Trip to Bamyan

We took a day trip to Bamyan a few weeks ago, where the largest Buddah statues used to be before they were distroyed by the Taleban. You're able to walk through a maze of caves in the cliffside and walk behind where the statues used to be as well as to many openings that give a great view of the valley below. Its a beautiful place only a short distance from Kabul, where the air is breathable, there is running water and green trees! It was a great change from the smog filled gray city of Kabul

Another site we visited was what is known as the Red City, its close to 2000 years old and if you look closely at the next few pictures you'll see walls, towers, and ruins of a fort built into the cliff.
