most impactful place
Uzbekistan – I had the opportunity to assist a professor in his research of a city’s growth and ultimate death along the historic Silk Road, which allowed for a seven day trip to Samarkand, Tashkant, and Bukhara in Uzbekistan. The architecture was quaint and functional, yet much was ornately and beautifully constructed with colorful glazed tile. Getting to know the architecture and the truly welcoming and kind people of Uzbekistan was a humbling experience reminiscent of a simpler time that’s difficult to find here in the United States.
