Fabulous find!
So happy that Bukhara exceeded your expectations! Your photos are great and the whole place sounds wonderful. I'd never heard that awful story of the two British officers, but I loved your comment of people throwing money down a hole. The Maghoki Attar Mosque also had a pretty amazing story--discovered when people saw its roof, and with remnants of a 5c Zoroastrian temple--seriously old! Hope your next destination has tourist hype because it's so fantastic!

Get you and your camera to Bukhara
Glad you enjoyed our tale on Bukhara, it is by far our favourite place on this trip, unfortunately our next destination Khiva was perhaps our worst which you will red about soon. You have to get over here Tara, your photography is the best, and I could only imagine how good your photos would be.

Thanks, you two!
Thanks for your kind words on my photos, but I also happen to love yours and voted on a bunch of them today, and like you, I could imagine living among all that beauty (though, like you, I like tasty food!)
