We were up early, long before the breakfast at a b&b (thank you, kiddos), so we walked to Amir Timur's mausoleum nearby, built in 1404. It wasn't open yet, but for a small fee the guy working was more than happy to let us in. After our yummy breakfast we went back out to see more of the dead at Shah-i-Zinda, a collection of religious buildings and mausoleums. Our taxi driver, our new friend, offered to watch the boys while we explored. Though a kind sentiment, we really need to know someone longer than 10 minutes before we leave the boys. After enough monuments and killer heat, we gave up and went to our train. I'll spare the details, but I'm certain it was one of the hottest, longest train rides possible!
