Helen's Silk Road
Off early in readiness for long day to get through border. Only took about 3 hours. Stopped in the street for lunch. The school kids stopped for entertainment and the lady who owned the house made us welcome with bread and tea. Went to the silk factory in Margilan. and saw the process of harvesting silk (which is actually done in May). Saw silk making. Carpet making with silk wool and cotton. Brought some hand made silk.
I'm into Alexander the Great and Ghengis Khan territory now. !!!!
