The little man wasn't feeling very good today. He's currently fighting a cold plus we think he's cutting another tooth. On our last visit today, he was content to sit in one of our laps and gnaw on his teething ring. He was trying to gnaw on the wooden handles of one of the rocking horses in the play room today. We can just picture finding him chewing on our coffee table at home. :)
Since things were pretty quite at the Baby House today, we thought we would tell some of the interesting things we've seen since we've been here:
-The elevator in our hotel in Almaty was literally big enough to fit only myself & Wayne in it.
-There are people sitting on each street corner selling scoops of sunflower seeds out of big bowls.
-There are two lanes of traffic, however; within each lane of traffic, there could be 2 lanes or 3 lanes of traffic depending on the moods of the drivers. It's pretty much a free for all over here. Nobody wears seatbelts and everybody travels at their own speed. Trying to cross over to the other side of the street is like playing Frogger.
-There are bakeries at almost every street corner. We found one 2 minutes from our apartment and have been walking over there in the evenings to get little treats. We will definitely not be loosing any weight on this trip.
-We went to a good restaurant last night for dinner called Kamelot. Their menu consists of items like "The Golden Haired Maiden", "Nightime Hurricane", "Bohemian Chops w/ Onion", and "Apple Forest Schnitzel" It was good but, it's anybody's guess what you'll end up with.
Aliya took us on a tour of the town today so, here are some of our pics:
