This photo is of a mauseleum( apologies for the mispelling) in Turkmeistan. It's about a 3 1/2 hour drive from where we're at now on some very bumpy freeway. It's considered one of the worlds largest mauseleums and dates back to 900 a.d., the construction of this building was amazing and still contains some of the logs used for scaffolding in the structure. Along the drive to get there we saw thousands and thousands of angora, cows, horses, donkeys and a few camels. None of them fenced in, most had a herder on horseback close by. It was kind of how I would picture the old west before barbwire was invented. It was a long day, especially without anyone but our cab driver Ravil and he doesnt speak english, but Stacey and I were glad we mad the trip to visit this sacred place. We are told that muslims around the world consider 6 visits to this shrine as equivalent to mecca. Miss you all.
