Last week we traveled to Almaty, Kazakhstan, to renew visas, to see friends, and for Craig to do a bit of work. We had such a great time catching up with folks. I do hate that I didn't take more pictures of all the old friends we got to see. The city was great, but the highlight was definitely old friends. I was amazed at how European the city seems in contrast to my time there in '99 and to current Tashkent. The grocery stores were amazing!

| Feeding pigeons in Panfilov Park, also known as 28 Soldier Park |

| Zenkov Cathedral, a 19th century Russian Orthodox cathedral, in Panfilov Park |

| The purple toilet that we paid $0.20 many times to use |

| This was one of Seth's highlights... for $0.65 the kids could "fish" for 10 minutes. |
Wow, how fun! Who knew you would take your boys back there some day!
