13:57 - Signing off from Samarkand
Uzbekistan not only met but FAR exceeded the expectations I had for the country. I asked numerous people why they are proud to be Uzbek and they all agreed it was the hospitality and generosity of the people. I fully agree! Rarely have I been treated so well by so many from all levels of society. And the history of the country, especially at the heart of the trade, culture, philosophy, art, architecture, and entertainment of the Silk Route left so much to imagine and appreciate.
I was truly able to get a great sense of what this incredible thoroughfare, stretching thousands of miles across most of the known world, was all about.
So in Part II of this two-part series, I explore the historic city of Bukhara and later traveled to 'the Pearl of the Muslim World', Samarkand, where I was FINALLY able to attend an Uzbek wedding! On this journey, I also met some of the incredible people that make up the future of Uzbekistan such as my intrepid friend/guide Mirjalol and the superstar singer/songwriter, Ruhsora!

~ Stay Curious. And I look forward to seeing you on my next Final50 journey! ~
