Emily O'Dell exploring the ruins of a medieval madressa on the Silk Road
While driving to a Sufi shrine on the Silk Road, which I never had the chance to visit the last time I was living in Turkmenistan, we stumbled upon the ruins of a crumbling medieval madressa, as shown above. Though our driver was in a hurry to get home after a long day on the road, he still gave us enough time to not only climb over the ruins, but to climb up them as well.
