Bukhara

Another jewel on the Silk Road. We slept in and then set out by foot to see amazing buildings and dramatic tiled facades. The city's history dates back 4,000 years and some of the structures seen today are over 2,000 years old. This is a shopper's paradise. Rich embroidery and carpets, exquisitely carved woods, and brightly colored ceramics. For those who LOVE bowls, there are thousands to choose....and they are really weighing down my bags!

Eight hours of roaming and a mug of cold beer ended our wandering.
