In the capital of Tajikistan, some older buildings from Russian colonial days still linger among the president for life’s grandiose rebuilding of the city. Dushanbe means Monday market, and was a village when the Russians made it the capital of Tajikistan. Tea houses are very popular all through Central Asia, of course. I loved the cool and elegant beauty of this place..and the food was fabulous too!

Have a really grand weekend…of peace, health and happiness
