Tashkent Old City
We have today and tomorrow off; today for Eid, the Muslim holiday, and tomorrow we are off for Uzbek Independence Day. We spent today doing some sight-seeing around Tashkent. We rode the very affordable ($.25 per ride) metro north to the Chorsu market and walked a few kilometers north to the Old City which is the "pre"-Soviet area of Tashkent. Here we visited a madrasa, which, according to my on-line sources is, a building or group of buildings used for the teaching of Islamic theology and religious law, typically including a mosque. You have to love the internet!
