Katja appeared with this naked, and well worn Kukla and made a bed for it in her hide and seek place.
Artome had this odd looking creature with him this morning. It used to squeak, but the squeaker is long gone.
Artome is ready to drive home. Removed steering wheel from plastic car.
Today's visits with the children were dandy. The days and visits are starting to run together as we look forward to court next week, and later bringing Katja and Artome to the apartment while we finish the rest of our trip. Tomorrow will be one month since leaving Seattle, and so much has happened, we are glad for the picture files to look back through and keep the days straight.
We are off to the Cosmonaut Hotel for dinner. We're not sure if we're going alone or with the gang. Last few adult dinners before Chuckie Cheese and Happy Meal Land!

Dusting is never done.
A rare moment when they both were willing to sit near each other and even smile!
Hotel Cosmonaut; Our companions were either under the weather or had other engagements so we pushed on on our own for a fine meal, and a look at the famous hotel. The President of Kazakhstan has stayed here. It was kind of quiet for a Saturday night, there was a very friendly Australian fellow who offered his Russian/English dictionary for language assistance.
Here we have a club sandwich with fries, and sides of french onion soup, puff pastries with mushroom sauce, and rye bread. When you order a couple of beers of this size, they bring you a small plate of shredded, smoked, yak cheese (middle) very tasty!
When she laughs this hard everyone else in the room starts laughing!.
