Above is the fountain in Ben and Bonnie’s garden that I’ve been lusting after for ages.
B&B took me out to lunch today at their neighborhood Uzbek restaurant because I’m totally into going to Uzbekistan in late October. We went to this restaurant and the waiter below was wonderful in chatting to me about my ideas, so confirming about the whole plan. The food was great, the company was great, and now I’m just wondering if I will be able to contain myself to Uzbekistan…
Tea and honeycake.
Where Uzbekistan is in the world. Politically, it’s quiet there right now and the main cities of Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan are a reasonable plane ride from Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan.
My first idea is to fly into Tashkent and take the very fine rail system along the route below, stopping now and then. The guy at the restaurant said yes, absolutely, easy, safe, gorgeous, and then fly back to Tashkent for the return home. Or?! check out Bishkek and/or Almaty?!

I got the nice lunch because I helped Bonnie get her new e-frame going. She loves it, as would you!
