The people here in Almaty believe that the first apples were grown here, they are proud of their

apples. they will have the 2011 asian winter games here, they are working on the oval ice

stadium, they have many ski resorts, there are over 7 in this city alone.

the beetles played somewhere in Kazakhstan , so they made a monument for them here in

Almaty. Heidi thought Sherri her sister would love to she her sitting on there laps. she is such

a fan of them. the mountains look alot like Utahs, they are quite high and deep. rugged country in some places. people are very curtious, but they now how to hussle for a buck, they are very

persistent in what they want and they become very street wise early in life...
There is a line of stars, close to 900 that you can walk up, from the oval ring to the road that winds above, it is a great quad worker for those that give it a try, that is over a 600 ft climb.

the elders love to see who can do it the fastest, the seniors like to see if they can even do them, i took pictures of them and told them I know I can, so I will be the witness for them. I have been

doing 2 to 3 stair laps at are apartment most mornings, their is about 220 steps per lap. we live in a 11 story apt. It is a nice break from the cold out side.
