We made it to Almaty. Sorry I don't have any pictures. We arrived at 5:30 this morning on a very long flight from Amsterdam. One of our suitcases didn't make it and we won't get it until Friday morning. That means we get to meet people from the Department of Education and our new daughter in clothes that we have been wearing for the past 4 days!
We were able to briefly see some of the mountains that are outside of the city when we were traveling from the airport this morning. They look a lot like those we have in Utah. The temperature is similar to what we had in Utah as well. However, there is a lot of pollution here.
We're staying in a nice apartment near the government center of the city. It has a nice grocery store near by that we visited earlier today.
The next time we post, we'll be doing so from our new daughter's city.
