Our last stop in Uzbekistan. Off to Turkey next. Samarkand is another UNESCO World Heritage site
Nice ladies agreed to pose for me
Visiting a ceramic workshop
This mill is used to grind minerals into glazes
This donkey only works one day a month, grinding the glazes
The crowning jewel of Samarkand, Registan Square once served as the central plaza
Saint Daniel's Tomb (only his arm bone). The reason it is so long is because his arm bone kept growing after death
Shakhi-Zinda complex (The Living King). Flanking either side of its massive central stairway are some 20 buildings and tombs
Children dressed up for Navruz holiday (vernal equinox)
Bibi-Khanym Mosque
Another great sprawling market
