Uzbekistan (November, 2019) – As we endure the gusts of an Indian summer, I can't help but think of how quickly the lazy, hazy summer-daze pass and seasons change. I reckon it won't be long until we're back to bursts of winter storms, haphazardly dropping heaps of snow on surprised tourists. Tashkent was lovely under a blanket of snow, my barefoot sneakers less magical.
