I am enjoying a relaxing weekend. Friday night Ocean and watched Apple TV’s Civil War. We laughed making fun of the movie’s depiction of war photographers. It was unrealistic and so we were pretending to be the cheesy war photographers with each other. I find my moments to spend time with her. Our eldest son Owen sent some photos of is university’s tennis club. They do not have a NCAA tennis program and so he joined the intramural club. We are happy he is connecting with others and joining social activities. Nadia and I attended a party celebrating Mexican’s Independence. Ricardo and Dora are a General Motors family and we’ve been friends with them for years.
Saturday I went for a long bike ride with one of the new teachers, Kim. We stopped at Yangi O’bekistan Park, the first time I had toured the park. It is a big government project used for concerts, national holiday concerts, etc. It is a mix of Singapore and Dubai being a bit artificial, and overall a nice idea, providing green space in a city is always beneficial for people. The Humo monument in the center is impressive and well thought out. It includes a range of architecture, covering from the Persians to Tamerlane. It also has a bronze diorama that summarizes the entire history of Uzbekistan. I would like to visit it at night sometime. The photo on the left shows workers pulling out a full tree from one of the side canals. I wondered how it got into the canal.
