We are enjoying Oliver’s final week with us in Tashkent. On Sunday Oliver and I went for a bike ride around Yangi Uzbekistan and the new Olympic Village. Most of the buildings are completed. I hope it will be open to the public or at least they develop a cycling/running path around the area. We ran into a bit of mud on the backside, but overall it was a fast ride. Afterwards we went to The Bani, the Russian banya and warmed up and relaxed. It is nice to see Oliver and Ocean bonding this week. The person who will be in your life the longest is your brother and sister. I hope they maintain a strong relationship throughout their lives.
It has been cold this week in Tashkent as you can see by the sunrise photo above of the frosty turf of the school’s sports field. We have had wintry mixes of precipitation mixed with sunny skies. Temperatures are hovering around zero Celcius daily. I made a video of Ocean, Oliver and I walking the dog around our mahalla last night.
