I enjoyed a brief time looking at the restored ruins of Hisor fortress. Aziz escorted me to this settlement on the old Silk Road, located about 40 km. west of Dushanbe. Akmal was my information guide. He provided great detail about the history of the site, and its connection to the development of life in Tajikistan. Short and sweet visit.
