Here are some pics from our days in Almaty. Gulnara was an excellent tour guide, taking us to the zoo, the cathedral, to feed the birds and 2 amusement parks. We had a blast!
Jacqueline-- Have been waiting anxiously for these pix to see your beautiful boys--and it was worth the wait! :) Take care of yourself--I can't believe you are so matter-of-fact re: the ER trip. What a woman! Hang in there--thoughts and prayers for your family are being sent! --Kara
