Short Pause in Kaz

Now in Almaty

We made it to Almaty yesterday without any problem. We are staying in an apartment downtown near the Tsum store. It is a nice department store. We visited a place last night called "Mac Burger." I think they want to be McDonald's. When we were in Tsum we found a place called "King Burger" that uses the same logo as Burger King. There is a pedestrian walkway around the corner from Tsum and at the end of it is a mall. We stumbled across this Internet cafe as we were walking in the mall.

We're all doing fine here. Rosa didn't eat much of her dinner last night at Mac Burger, so we bought some groceries at the supermarket around the corner from our place and she ate some cereal that we bought.

We will have Rosa's medical visit on Tuesday or Wednesday when her passport arrives from Astana. We will then schedule an embassy visit for Thursday or Friday.
