Well! Here's your piano picture, right off the bat.

The world is interesting (stop the presses, that's a riveting thesis!); the landscape in this shot actually reminds me of parts of California. (Which means that people from this part of Pakistan must think, "huh, this reminds me of parts of Pakistan" when they visit.) Informative Caption, however, tells us that Wills and Kate "flew near the Afghan border to visit a remote Hindu Kush glacier on October 16, after a morning spent trying on feathered traditional caps and luxurious shawls in Pakistan's mountainous north." (Whoever wrote the phrase, "luxurious shawls" has a future at this website if he or she wants it.)

Behold, your luxurious shawls. They DO look luxurious. (Technically, [Wills is wearing an embroidered coat](https://www.harpersbazaar.com/celebrity/latest/a29481353/kate-middleton-traditional-chitrali-hat-chitral-pakistan/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io); it's hard to see the embroidery here, but it's lovely. I enjoy that, like, Meghan yesterday, he's just doing the casual-glam Toss It Over The Shoulders.)

This area of Bumburet, a village in the Chitral District of Khyber-Pakhunkwa Province, was ruined by a flood caused by climate change and the attendent melting glaciars. This is a really amazing shot.

There was a lot of this happening.

Kate is sort of vaguely dressed like someone from *Star Wars*. She's in a barren but extremely beautiful landscape. She's got a scarf, some leather accents, wearing a VERY neutral palate.

"You guys, this is going to be great for my Instagram." Apparently, the entire village came out to eyeball them (as you would. I would!).

This was a visit to a "settlement of the Kalash people, to learn more about their culture and unique heritage." The Kalash are indigenous people from this part of Pakistan, and [I just spent a great deal of time reading about their culture on Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalash%5Fpeople?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). There are obviously many stark differences with my own way of life, but those vaguely bored children sitting up there represent a universal human mood.

The Kalash people appear to have been deeply hospitable and welcoming. I know that Wills and Kate met a woman earlier in the day named Diana, because she was in utero when Diana made this same visit.

Everyone also seemed *very* chatty. There are SO MANY pictures of Kate and this woman CHATTING IT UP. (T[he Daily Mail I KNOW \[I KNOW!!!!\] had quite good coverage of today's events](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7579371/Duke-Duchess-don-traditional-Pakistani-headwear.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), and they told me that her name is Shahira Bibi, and she was their host; she may also been acting as translator?)

Here's your regular reminder that William is foxy in a hat.
