New pics from T-stan

Visiting the ruins of the ancient city of Nissa (only 30 minutes drive from our village)

Joshu helping our host mom and sister make a traditional meal called 'Manty.' Manty is meat (and sometimes squash) wrapped in dough, covered in oil, and steamed.

Joshua sitting in language class. Roshen is our Turkmen language instructor. He is from the city of Dashaguz in the Nortern-most part of the country. Notice that even for class we sit on the carpets on the ground.


Joshua walking on the road from our home to our language class in Yalkym village. The mountains border Iran to the South. We would love to go explore them, but it is a restricted area that people are not allowed to freely visit.
