Fall 2008 Caravan of Countries Along the Central Asian Silk Road |

This journal focuses on the above mentioned Central Asian countries. All these countries contain sights that were central to the Ancient Silk Road. Thus, this was the theme of the trip. So, sit back and enjoy the tour. There are additional journals on this website that deal with other legs of the five month trip.
The picture to the left was taken atop a minaret in Sammarkand's Registan. The minaret I was standing on was almost identical to the one in the lower right-center of the image. There was only room for one person at a time at the summit of the minaret. Thus, I had to improvise and take this picture of myself when it came time for my three minutes at the top!
