Greg,
Thanks for your thoughts on web pages. I'm starting to look around and pay lots
more attention to detail in other's pages. This graphics stuff is sooo hard.
It's much more fun and easier to go out and take pictures.

Uzbekistan was easy to get around in since we had a van and guide who handled
all of the logistics. With the exeception of a destroyed tire and a wheel coming
off the van at 40 MPH, everything was routine. Hotel rooms are fine, although
expensive. I would think that letting someone else drive would be prudent, given
the liability issues involved if you ever got into an accident.
