On one of my site visits, I crashed a birthday party. But these ladies were gracious enough to set me a place at their table. None of them spoke English (and I definitely don't speak Uzbek), but they wanted me to feel like a part of the group so they kept shoving candies, breads and pastries at me. Who needs to talk when there's food?

Great pic! I think I recognize a couple ladies (besides you), which may not be a coincidence!
I don't suppose you met a couple of teens named Megan & Charis while you were there? They took me to the museum that had my name in the guestbook.
You made it to Khiva - I'm green with envy! But you've GOT to visit Samarkand if you ever make it back there! Silk Road stops just don't get any better!
Has anyone mistaken your fur hat for an afro? Just curious...
