We have finally arrived in Almaty Kazakhstan at 12:30 AM on Sunday (Kazakhstan Time). We have one more flight to go , which will get us to our city where Ben is. We are not sure if we will get to see him today or tomorrow. Today if we do not get to go to the baby house we will a good chance to unpack and setup our appartment.
I must say that I never realized who FAR Kazakhstan is from the United States and both Mike and I now have a clear understanding of how far it is. The airport here in Almaty does not have free internet so I had my first experience trying to pay for internet time with someone that does not speak English and I who does not speak Russian. The good news is I did buy internet time.
Really for the first time in my life I realize just how much I stand out in a crowd.
We did learn that Christmas is Jan 7th here so we get to experience two Christmas', this should be interesting.
We have learned that there is CHICKEN in Shymkent , so there is hope for food.
I am running out of my time, but wanted to let everyone know we made it to Kazakhstan!
