We might be biased in our love for Pakistan because what we saw of this country was through the eyes of our charismatic “guide” and dear friend Sana Marwat of Coyote Trail. They were the eyes of someone who knew the ins and outs of his country, who could clearly explain his culture to newcomers, and they were the eyes of the son of a Pashtun tribe leader. What was supposed to be a night’s stopover in Islamabad turned into the start of a blossoming friendship with Sana.
After giving us a tour of the rich and modern city of Islamabad we travelled north to an organic farm in the Swat Valley. There we met Niaz and Shujaat, brothers who showed us the true power of Pakistani hospitality. They dined us with delicious food and entertained us with musicians. It was a night that we will remember for the rest of our lives. Bohat Shukriyah!
