Escalators and Ice Cream






We had another fun day today. In the morning we stayed at the Baby House and took a walk with the group. The kids get so excited to see big trucks, cats and dogs, and it even rained a little on us. We had to hustle back to beat the downpour. How we take the little things in life for granted.
For our afternoon visit we were able to take Danny to the City Plus store. It is kind of like a mini-mall with a several stores, an arcade, food and an outdoor inflatable to play on. We rode the little battery operated cars again and took a walk by the Karatal River, then to the playground and had some ice cream. Danny was fascinated by the escalators, riding up and down 6 times. How strange to be 3 1/2 and have your first ice cream.
We found out we won't have hot water in Taldy Korgan for the remainder of our trip, as they are working on the system. We boiled water to heat a tub this morning so getting ready may take a little longer now. It will make us appreciate the comforts of home when we get back.
I'm starting to think in Russian a little. I even told Ed thank you in Russian when we were alone. Now for pics! Jacqueline
