The Weight of Water
“I get knocked down, but I get up again.
You’re never going to keep me down.”
Ugh! I reach into the daypack draped across my chest, and rummage around for my MP3 player. It has slipped somewhere between one of my water bottles and the ripped baggie with toilet paper, hand sanitizer and sunscreen. I fumble over the fast-forward button and skip through a half dozen songs.

Anem a Uzbekistan
Aquesta breu entrada i ara que durant les properes setmanes ens endinsarem a Uzbekistan, és per ’informar’ que segons ens han comentat altres viatgers, la connectivitat i accés a internet serà gairebé nul·la, pel que consegüentment, no creiem poder publicar gaire a la web, ni a les xarxes socials (si no estan bloquejades com a Tadjikistan).
Heading to Uzbekistan
Our time in Tajikistan has come to a close. It has been an amazing 45 days, and it will be hard to top what we found here. It is a place of natural beauty and kind people.
But, we walk onwards, and Uzbekistan is next on the list. We’re looking forward to what another country along the ancient Silk Road will be like.

Welcome! Come in! Tea?
“Choi? Chay?”
These Tajik and Russian words will long echo in our ears and our hearts. They are more than an invitation for tea. They are a way into people’s homes and lives. They are reflections of a kind of hospitality people in today’s busy world don’t seem to have time for any more. These words have come to mean “Tajikistan” to us.
