City City

Here are some more pictures of the city. Most of these are shot in the old city which is no lie.. Many of these buildings and walls have dates inscribed in them like 1179. At first I thought that was their address... then my friend Lisa, pointed out that no, those were actually the YEAR these buildings were built! Pretty impressive.


A minnerete in the distance. There are quite a few mosques in the old city.
West wall of the old city.


Really old stones.
The presidents wife's house in dark brown with a mosque to the right.

Nice balconies and buildings on the main avenue.

A common local scene. Cell phones are everywhere.

Cobble stones recently redone.

The carpet museum which used to be the Lenin Museum.
