yesterday, he posted an email he got from his father about their trip to shakhrisabz and after reading it, now i'm getting all nostalgic too. anyway, here are some photos of the places papa kelley mentions in his email (i've been promising to post uzbek pictures for ages--this, at least, is an excuse to finally get around to it):
the road to the mountain pass between shakhrisabz (taken from a car window as i sped past--the yellow things are sunflower fields)
village along the takhtakaracha pass (i happened to pass through a funeral, these guys were jumping in their car to follow a funeral procession)
"the remains of Timur's Palace" (Ak Serai)
blue domed mosques
old man sitting near mosque
the marketplace
UPDATE: when i first published this entry, the images apparently didn't post right (i ran off to see the sopranos before i could verify that they posted correctly). i think i fixed it now.
