Ala Archer National Park

On Monday we returned from a three day trip to Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan.  We had a great weekend in and around Bishkek, and spending time with friends who are temporarily living there, like we are in Tashkent.  Saturday we woke up to beautiful weather and decided to go outside of the city for some hiking and great mountain views.  Within an hour we decided to go, fed the boys, called a driver, and were on the road.  Ala Archer Park is a gorgeous 30 minute drive outside of Bishkek. 


Only in a country with fewer lawyers than the U.S.









We didn't expect our driver to hike with us, and based on his shoes, maybe he didn't either.  He was a sweetie!


Vic loves rocks (wock, wock, wock as he often says).
