Our New Home

We are in our new home which is in the Mironshon neighborhood for those of you familiar with Tashkent. It's a fairly working class area with a mix of families--Russian, Uzbek and, well, us. Our neighbors all seem very nice and friendly, but the area dogs are still getting used to us. And the sheep greet us every morning as we walk to the taxi stand. Ah, life in the big city.

Our house is 3 bedroom, 2 bath and is eerily similar to our townhouse in Vancouver. It is already beginning to feel like home. Below are a few pictures to give you a feel for our new place.

Our entry and garden--cherry trees!

    I'm glad you don't have to worry about coffee while you are there. Have a fresh fig for me, I haven't had one since Yosemite.
