We leave in 8 days and are doing final preparation for our trip. We
went to Half Price Books today and I bought a couple of crossword puzzle
books. I'm hoping they last! I am going to raid some friends'
'libraries' this week for reading material. And we have to give a
special shout-out to Kevin and Emily for letting us raid their DVD
collection and, most especially, for the loan of their ipod during our
trip. Jim was grinning from ear to ear when he got it and has been busy
loading it up.
We also found out that the wife of
Jim's college roommate has family in Taraz. She (Natalia) is from Russia
and lived just south of Kazakhstan for a time while growing up. We are
hoping to meet her relatives while we are in Taraz.
Sam was sick last night. We're hoping we don't catch what he had. It would make for a very unpleasant plane ride!
