| Update from Uzbekistan...phone rings at 9:30pm tonight and not thinking anything of it my H answers. It's the boy, from Samarkand with an Italian lilt to his speech! Now you have to understand that 9:30pm our time is 6:30am his time. The only way this boy has seen 6:30am voluntarily in the last 10 years is if he's still up from the night before! But apparently the temperature reaches close to 100f by 2pm, so they start very early. He's really enjoying both his "colleagues", all from Italy, and the experience. As he said, "yesterday I spent my time scraping 1,000 year old dirt off the fortress wall, how cool is that?!" Hard to get many details from my usually non-communicative son in the short time I've budgeted for each phone call, but boy was it great to hear his very tired voice!
NYC subway - Samarkand, Uzbekistan...I should be ready for this. |
