Sights around Termiz, Uzbekistan-on the Afghan border--pictures

These are some scenes from the bazaar in Termiz, right on the Afghan border. There are significant numbers of German Luftwaffe in the town, as it is a staging post for operations in Afghanistan. The town itself wasn't particularly great--in fact, it was probably the worst place we saw on the entire trip. But we got to see Afghanistan! The picture I was able to take of the border isn't that great, since it was taken from inside a moving car. But since we technically weren't supposed to take any of the border, it was the best I could do!

The last picture is of the water in our hotel. Tea, anyone??? There is a reason I stick to bottled water in these parts of the world!
