From the Airport…

May 31, 2009 · 3 Comments

I’m sitting in the Astana airport waiting to fly to Vienna in the morning. I will spend a week in Austria and then about 6 weeks in Turkey before I head home on July 20. It’s been kind of a sad process saying good-bye to our friends here. The last month finished really way, and we had some great opportunities to spend time with our friends.

This will probably be might last blog-post for a while. I may be able to post while I’m traveling, but I’ll probably not go out of my way to do so.

Peace

Kyrgyzstan

May 14, 2009 · Leave a Comment

A couple weeks ago, Erich and I were able to meet up with a couple of our friends who are teaching with the same organization in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. We spent a couple of days there, and then we headed to Lake Issyk-Kol which is the world’s 2nd largest alpine lake.

We stayed in a village with a Kyrgyz family who are the family of a friend of our American friends. It was a wonderful experience. Kyrgyzstan is blessed with a unique mix of natural beauty and traditional culture. The best part of the experience was staying with the Kyrgyz family. They treated us wonderfully, and I loved seeing the mountains and the lake with them.
