The Frozen North East, part one
We just returned from visiting co-workers to get an idea of the people they are working with and they way they go about life. We also wanted to see the city for ourselves as we might be moving there in the not too distant future.
Getting to know each other - many good conversations around this table

Siberian Trip Pt. 5
Hi Friends!
Keira hasn’t changed much in the last week so I thought I would post about my Siberian survey trip again. =)
I had the privilege of spending the night in a village that my co-workers have worked in, here are some pictures from that trip.
The last 15 minutes of the drive was on a dirt road that was shared with sheep.
Village of Shambalik
School where my friends taught English
Where I spent the night, Sayid's house.
Outhouse
Sayid makes saddles and is also a musician
The local tea - salty and milky.
We went to the well to fill up their water canister
The first well was dry
The second well worked
Sayid playing the Igil
Can you guess what kind of meat we had for dinner??
Sayid's kids playing - the boy is pretending to be a horse
Walking out to the plane to head back to Moscow
Well, thats about it. It was a great trip! Soon I will put some videos up as well, thanks for checking out our blog.
