We started the long weekend with a chayhona with the local guys from work. It was a downpour for most of the evening. We had a good meal at the nearby Ulus Restaurant, just a few blocks from the school. They specialize in “milly tamolar” (national cuisine). I thought the lamb chops were delicious. It was good to have some laughs with male friends.
The sunshine and warm temperatures came back to Tashkent on Saturday. I went for a run around the Milly Bog National Park and soaked up the fresh air. My run was interrupted with phone calls from Oliver and Nadia, but I love walking and talking. I need to do more of that at school when I am talking to people. I noticed another large housing/retail development (Baku Towers) starting right next to the park. Just what Tashkent needs…
