A well-known tourist guidebook to the Afghan capital, first published in 1965, notes "cities like Kabul change a little every day." That comment is as outdated today as the city tours it recommends, of gardens and palaces and restaurants that no longer exist. Kabul has changed in the 12 months since the Taliban regime abandoned the city -- and in great leaps, not small steps. Girls are now attending school. Women are free to work and to show their faces on the city streets. Music can be heard again, and kites dance once more in the skies. RFE/RL correspondent Grant Podelco recently spent a morning in the Kabul home of an Afghan family of eight. They described the dramatic changes that have taken place in their lives and in the city during the past year.
