I am taking time to savor my final year here in Tashkent. I went for a run after work along the canal yesterday and captured this sunset photo on one of the side canals beneath the hill of the Uzbekistan Olympic Museum. The weather this week has felt like a mini-spring with temperatures reaching into the mid 60s with a high today of 64 degrees F!


Ocean had her senior photo day at school yesterday. The grade 12 students took their individual portraits with their graduation caps and gowns. Graduation this year will take place on May 22, and Nadia and I are both excited and dreading the big day! The photos took place in the administration building, and seeing 17 and 18-year-olds fret about their looks makes me laugh from the perspective of someone in their 50s. I’ve reached the age where anyone with skin with no wrinkles and all of their hair looks fantastic.
