The Embassy of Afghanistan was there. They were selling kilim (hand made Afghan rugs), hats, and lapis-lazuli jewelery. The booth received a lot of foot traffic and it seems a lot of people were stopping to find out more about Afghan culture and to take a look at the goods for sale. The Afghan hats (Pakul) were a very popular item.
As before, they were letting any visitors to the booth try on Afghan clothes and have their picture taken.
All in all, it was a fun day. In addition to the Afghan booth there were many other ones representing countries from around the world. Many kinds of food were for sale at the booths. I had a chance to try some African donuts and Samosas. They were quite good.
