Dear Reader (2024-04-14)
In the last post (Five Stans 29) I introduced Ashgabat, and you and I visited the surprising National Carpet Museum. In today’s post you and I wander along streets and pedestrian boulevards reveling in mostly smaller views. In the first image those same people we see from a distance were curious about who we were and where we were from. Once again smiles and camera phones came out. Two travel companions and I stop at a coffee shop (5,6) that would not be out of place in hipper parts of Romania or Bulgaria. As a prelude to large views to come in the next post, you and I will also stick our heads into a mosque.

5. That looks like nice coffee shop. I amused myself trying to translate the menu into English. One line translates as ‘no friend worth it or application’. Maybe it’s poetry and not a menu.
