Next Stop: Pigeon Valley


Next we stopped by to see Pigeon Valley. This isn't a great photo but all through this Valley they would carve holes for pigeons to perch in. They would so this so that they could collect the pigeon feces to use for fertilizer and more importantly, for the paintings/frescoes in the cave hurches.

At the viewing spot, there was this sign and a table that was covered with a blanket. Of course, we wanted to see what was under the blanket and it was a table top full of nuts and dried fruit. Very clever.

I loved these 'evil eyes' that were everywhere...most people have one hanging somewhere in their house or work to ward of ghosts... Here is an explanation of what they are. Next time I go, I am going to get enough so I can have an evil eye tree like this one. Posted by Picasa
