Victory Day

I forgot to mention that it was raining when we arrived in Kokshetau and in Almaty. It stopped raining during the night. Since it was only partly cloudy, we decided to get out.

Vitali came to get us at 11:30 and we picked up Rhonda and Ian. We first went to lunch at Mad Murphy's. We had the restaurant almost to ourselves. Everyone was at the Victory Day festivities.

Following lunch, we decided to join them! We headed over to the park. There were many vendors and a big stage with entertainment. We got Katya an ice cream cone and wandered through the park. It's so much fun people watching. There were hundreds and hundreds of people out, including veterans, wearing all their medals.

When we'd had our full, we headed to the Ramstore again. We got Katya a couple CDs of her favorite artists while there.

We're now back at the apartment, listening to music, and getting ready to made dinner. We don't have anything on our agenda. We've been told that Kata's medical might not be until Thursday, which means we'll have Tuesday and Wednesday open.
