Originally from a very small town in British Columbia, we are now living in Almaty, Kazakhstan, a city of 1.5 million. Dave is an English teacher, Edna is the school's Financial Officer, Kyla is in Grade 3, and Cody is in Grade 1. This is our second year here. We hope you enjoy reading our blog--it acts as our diary of life in the former USSR, the thrills, chills, and spills. Please leave a message; we'll get right back to you.
We drove 200km's yesterday, one way, to get to Charyn Canyon. It's often referred to as Kazakhstan's mini 'Grand Canyon.'
The drive was so rough that we all have at least one loose dental filling, but it was worth it.
The deepest part of the canyon is 300m below the parking lot. In some places it is 3km's wide, and the river that flows through the bottom is 154km's long. We only hiked about 3km's. It is not recommended to visit in July and August because it is too hot.

Well, if you put it that way, then I guess we really can't compete! Go Uncle George!!
