The "motors" did not run on any fixed
schedule, but rather waited until there were enough
passengers to make the trip profitable. In Qala-i-Nau I
was awakened at my hotel by a driver at 6 a.m., only to
wait around until afternoon for the "motor" to
leave. I entertained myself watching village life -- the
people including young children wearing colourful
traditional costumes. © 1977, 1999 Richard McGuire
