I think I posted these to FB but didn't put them up on the blog. I walked from our apartment up to the main square where the annual Ice Festival was in full swing. It's a Siberian tradition with artists coming from across the region to celebrate the winter. It was -8F and I lasted about 2 hours outside with several layers on to keep me warm. The festival theme was China to honor the Shanghai Summit which happened this summit in Yekat.
As much as I wasn't a fan of our time in Russia, this is one of the cool things about living there.

Kyrgyzstan 2007
I can't believe it's already been two years since we took this amazing trip to Kyrgyzstan to visit our FIUTS Friendship Connection, Timur. We are so grateful to Timur and his family for their incredible hospitality. It truly was an amazing trip and they were incredibly gracious hosts. We will remember it as a trip of a lifetime.
