Tonight I’m again staying with a Provincial Governor, one who spent seven years in an American university and speaks perfect English.
- Role: journey waypoint
- In the book: After eleven hours and ninety miles by truck, she reaches the Governor’s primitive house in horse-breeding country, hearing about Buzkashi. She shares a room with her host and eats a banquet that aggravates her rib.
