Silk Road - 6 June 2009 - Tight Rope Walkers in Khiva

Description

We saw a show involving tight walkers. Particularly in the location in which it was performed, it was interesting. The young men were reasonably good.

While walking around, a young bride and groom were preparing for their wedding. The bride wore a beautiful white gown. At one point, people were dancing in front of them. It reminded me of Marla’s wedding in the way Herman had danced in front of her. The couple also went to a particular Madrassah which is considered holy.
