U.S. Team Arrives in Dushanbe

We're here!!
Despite a few travel hiccups, the U.S. project team arrived in Dushanbe at about 3:40 a.m. today, tired but in good spirits.

Travel time from Indianapolis to Dushanbe was about 30 hours, including a wonderful side-trip into Istanbul for the day. Baggage did not, unfortunately, arrive with us so we did some shopping in the open market and hope they will be here Monday.

Tomorrow we will make our first visit to the Dushanbe Zoo. Everyone is excited to meet their counterparts and begin our work. Tonight, catch-up sleep!
