Bishkek embassy down, more down time



Well it took longer to get through security at the embassy, then it did to get our paperwork. Now we wait until Monday to go to Kazakhstan. Well I guess that I get to enjoy the 70 degree weather a few more days. We made our trip to the store and guess who likes ice cream, although if he drops a piece in the dirt he tries to still eat it. Also we have been getting VIP treatment from the facilitators, so I am not sure what earthquake hit Frank F. Although, I believe, we were told today that we had to take a cab($20) to the airport in Almaty. I'm getting that confirmed, as I don't think that is right. Again "Be nice, until....". I told Marsha to contact Golden rule as now they are telling her it will be $6000 to switch and fly out of Almaty. I'm a bit surprised that A. options/Frank isn't helping her more. Well Alihan has day 2 syndrome, as he is into everything. I have been taking him on long walks for my own sanity. OK I THINK WE ARE UP TO 6 NOW. I still may be holding some pics back????

I'm not going to lie. All that down time would make me crazy. If the embassy is done, I'd want to leave ASAP! Oh well, good think it's you and not me, Ted! He's a handsome feller for sure. I can't wait until JP introduces young Mr. Pritchard to her majesty, Dairy Queen!
