Day 36 - June 22nd |
It was a mellow day here in Kazakhstan as we enjoyed lounging around
the apartment and taking another nice walk in the park. During our
walk today, we were able to take our time and try some new paths we
hadn't previously explored. It was great finding all sorts of things,
like the carved characters pictured below and quiet trails through
the woods. We've found that going in the morning is the only way to
do it. Once noon hits, all the vendors come out and the crowds start
up, then by evening, all the night clubs open (there are about 20
to 30 little open-air restaurant/clubs in the park). |

Katie had fun waving at boys on the train... |
and they had just as much fun waving back |

We wonder if these ones are from Snow White |
One of the many areas in the park where vendors sell everything from cotton candy and ice cream to turns on a bathroom scale (apparently no one owns their own scale, so if you wonder about your weight, you have to go to the park to find out) |
This was the goofiest of all carvings |
