    Doris and Louis,

    As always, your blog has been tremendously interesting and entertaining. You two make such a great team, one as writer and the other as photographer. You write beautifully, Doris, and capture the essence of each country that you visit. And Louis, your photographs are outstanding. I especially like the one of the horseman with the birds. Amazing!! And, as the Grateful Dead said so eloquently, “keep on truckin’ “!!

    Thanks for including us in your adventures.

    Love,

    Tamara and Steve

    Amazing! The hunter on horseback really harkens back to the history with Genghis Khan and Amir Timur/Tamerlane leading horsemen to conquer lands further west. Those unpaved roads are reminiscent of those I traveled in Uzbekistan’s neighboring Ferghana Valley in 1997-98. Hoping you get to stop at a chaihona for tea and sample the delicious melons, some compensation for the bumps along the way…

      Yes, the herds of horses on the hillsides are so evocative. We can all but see Genghis….
