Eid Mubarak

Our daytrip to the Salang Pass (through the Hindu Kush) coincided with the first day of Eid. The feast of the goat. All across Afghanistan and other Muslim countries, goats were being slaughtered (no pictures .. yet). Not only do they get slaughtered, but a small incision is then made into their leg so people can blow in to it. Blowing air in to the incision apparently makes it easier to remove the pelt from the animal when you skin it. Tasty.
