Apologies for the brevity, but this post will be mostly photos. It's an attempt to in photos capture the nine days I spent in Tajikistan working - my 144th country visited.
Also, apologies for linking to my blog, but due to FlyerTalk photo limits, it's my only real option. Enjoy!

So, I had a weekend in Dushanbe, and the good fortune to have a seasonably unusual heatwave....highs reached 22-24C which for late November was way above normal. .The one bad thing about the Hyatt as a hotel is location. .It's a good mile out of the edge of the main city, which means you're more or less trapped there in the evenings. .I'll get to the hotel a bit more later, but on Saturday I got up relatively early and ended up walking 14 miles all around Dushanbe. .It was a great day for walking, even though the sites...well not a ton to see. .I'm going to give the highlights, mainly in photo form:
Statue outside the national museum:
Entrance of the National Museum:

Reflection of the National Museum in the lake:
