Traveling the Silk Road
Journey with Susi this week back to a time when the information superhighway
was a network of land routes that stretched 4,600 from Xi’an in
Eastern China through the cities and empires of Central Asia and the Middle East
west to the Mediterranean — along the fabled Silk Road.
Our guides are:
Dr. Mark Norell, Chairman and Curator-in-Charge, Division of Paleontology,
American Museum of Natural History, home to an exhibit on the Silk Road, who introduces us to
the diversity of the most celebrated trade route in history, and
Nirmala Narine, owner and founder of Nirmala’s Kitchen and
Kojiro Umezaki, a musician from the Silk Road Ensemble, who introduce us to the
tastes, smells and sounds of the Silk Road.
