Today I'm cheating. I was looking for inspiration for a post for today, when I got a Whatsapp and several photos from my son on his current adventure. So, guess what, that's what I'm posting. Here they are in Tajikistan, at 4700 m (son on left of photo). You can see the infamous Pamir Highway winding through the mountains below. They are now in Osh, in Kyrgyzstan - with wifi! Happy days!
They look so extremely happy. How wonderful they can share this pics with you, in those modern times. And tahnk you too, your are sharing them with us.
Love the view here better than the other he sent you!! Hope he'll have all his craving for adventure out of his system by the time they return. (for mom's sake).
I am so impressed with your son and his friends, and even more with your stoic support as they travel through these far flung places that look so isolated! What a great experience they are having -- you have to be so proud of them!
@taffy My support has not always been stoic,Taffy, I have to confess. I was really against the idea, as I was quite simply terrified at the thought of these three young people driving all that way - the driving and the roads being my biggest concern. However, as time goes on (5 weeks has now passed), I am relaxing a little and am almost able to enjoy following them on their journey. I have a great link with the other two mums too, through Whatsapp, which allows us to share any snippets the boys send, as communications are not always easy. I will be very glad to see them come home, although I do understand and recognise what an amazing adventure it is for them, and what a lot of learning they've had to do along the way. A fantastic life experience.
