After lunch, we went to Festival Square, but we could not go into the Eid Gah Mosque, because it was prayer time. Instead we walked through the “sales” district of the old mud brick city. I was fascinated by the veiled woman driving a scooter. We stopped in a music store where they actually made the different types of instruments that they play here. I would have loved to buy Herman the one that is played like a guitar, but there is no way I could get it home. We went through the residential district with the very narrow streets.

Lovely carved wooden doorOur next stop for the day was the government store that the guides are required to take us. I bought a pair of silk pajamas for Marla. I tried to get a pair for My Little Muffin, but they didn’t have them. They had a lot of nice looking carpets. Since I didn’t need one and I never saw one that could replace the one in the living room even in Turkey.
We went to a Moslem restaurant for dinner. The ambiance was nice, but the food was not the best that we have had in Central Asia. We returned to the hotel where I tried to catch up on my blogging. I remained up until quite late trying to catch up on my notes. I should have gotten more sleep.
