Big Fur Hat
Mom was not only an international traveler, but an international shopper. Here is Linda with a huge fur hat in an Uzbekistan market in (1999? 2000?) in (Urgench? Bukhara?). Help me out, Sarah.
It is getting so cold here, I could use a hat like this.
This was in 1999 more than likely, if my memory serves me well. This is in Khiva, an ancient city right next to Urgench(about 20 minutes). Khiva is a stop on the silk road. Mom got me a huge collection of fur hats on that trip, ranging from sheep and fox all the way to mink. Each hat was no more than $20! The one in the picture was sheep. This trip was really amazing and I promised mom that as soon as I could save up enough money for us to go, I would take her immediately. Now, I will keep my promise and go to the places we wanted to go to and didn't get the chance. One place mom dreamed to go to was Samarkand and we somehow missed it. Next time, I am certianly going. I miss you mom.
