Samarkand - Food and People

Our lunch place.

The menu.

My lunch - they called it "mantu". Big steamed dumplings with a delicious beef filling.  Surprisingly good.

After lunch we went to a market.
This was sugar.

Selling bread.

Sometimes locals want to pose with tourists.  Here are some of our group.  Our guide told us that visitors with dark skin, such as from Africa, are much more popular!

 The lady in black was the main organiser behind the photo shoot.

And note the other group behind this one.

Waiting to be organised.

And yet another wedding!
