This journal is the collective record of our experiences in
Turkmenistan, Karakalpakistan and Uzbekistan

In March 2004

We visited ancient sites, met  men, women and children in their
homes, schools, yurts and farms.

I thank all those who chose to come on this tour  and 
shared with me my love and my passion for the Silk Road Cultures.

Thank you all for your hard work for keeping this journal 
and for your pictures.
