Snapshot of daily life

We got picked up in the old city and taken to a local bakery, where we had a chance to learn about the history of bread making and how the habits have changed in society today. And of course the chance to roll out our own bread and toss it into the tandir oven which was a lot of fun. Bread is such a big part of Uzbek culture and it was a lot of fun to be a part of it for even a small moment!
