After walking through the old town, eating "nan" from a local baker, seeing children playing games, we visited the local market. There were so many beautiful colors - spices, fruits and vegetables, cheeses as well as household items for sale. Some of us ate lamb or beef kebabs for lunch. Kebabs are served with onions and one of the delicious food items of Uzbekistan.
Other delicious meals I enjoyed were the variety of foods at the hotel breakfast buffets, "plov" a rice dish with meat and yellow raisins, and the variety of salads often including tomatoes and cucumbers. I especially enjoyed the variety of homemade breads often hot out of the oven.
