Rakieta and her father

Today's pictures are more from our day trip out to Rakieta's father's house. Rakieta's dress is typical of the country. The women like bright cottons, very fitted clothing and most of the skirts are ankle length. The girls and women are very beautiful as a rule and tend to wear clothing to accentuate their looks. The younger girls prefer western styes, but all women have at least one outfit like Rakieta's.
Rakieta's father and brother are dressed typically for the region.
