Our last "Stan" - Turkmenistan border crossing
Hard to believe
Driving thru Turkmenistan to Ashgabat - the capital
Driving thru a small town market
Girls dress this way for school
Flag of Turkmenistan
Ashgabat - Known as the White City - they buy marble from Italy & other places around the world.
Ferris Wheel in this building - but no one around!
Notice the absence of people near the monuments and streets - very eerie
Memorial Park - with no people other than us.
No people at the hotel either!
Gozelle, our guide, is related to this poet
Entrance to the shopping mall - not many people inside
Local airport - we flew to Mary, Turkmenistan
Mausoleum of Sultan Sanjor 12th century in Mary, Turkmenistan
Linda from our group with a local family
View from our hotel balcony
Horse Monument
Airport in Ashgabat shaped like a falcon - not a very good picture - taken from the bus window
Hotel that we should have stayed in!
