This May 13, 2017 photo shows the interior of the Dushanbe Teahouse in Boulder, Colo. Dushanbe offers a formal afternoon tea with a three-tiered tower of pastries, cucumber sandwiches and more, but it's known for the building's unique and elaborate craftsmanship, including carved columns, ceramic panels and hand-painted ceiling. The work was done by artisans from Dushanbe, the capital of Tajikistan and Boulder's sister city. (AP Photo/Beth J. Harpaz)
