The Ragistan is a magnet. I can't help but go there and just sit and watch it. It is all fresh, and rebuilt. The Russians had a lot to do with the preservation of this place. Our guide said that Uzbekistan has had to learn a lot about preservation techniques since the Russians pulled out in the early 1990's.
I couldn't have asked for a better sky today.
Inside one of the mosques, there were photographs of what the Ragistan (and other parts of Samarkand) looked like before the restoration.
On the way to dinner, we stopped at a few Christian churches in town.
Homemade plov, the best yet.
Samarkand by night.
