Get me to the church on time!


We went to a Russian Orthodox Church down the street. It was a sight to see. I know more about Islam than I do about Russian Othodoxy but I did recognize the art. Bon and Olyesa lit a candle and said a prayer, about what I don't know. in Bonnie's case it was either for the health of Alexei or hope that she does not have to kill me before we get out of Kazakhstan.
We have never spent this much time alone together and there are good things about that and bad things about that. It has brought us closer together and we have also gotten on eachother's nerves at times. Lesson learned...for us some space is healthy, but we can also operate as a team when we have to...very important.
On our way out of the church we met the priest pictured . What a face, fantastic.
