We're in Kaz!
Hi All- So here we are. After 20 hours of traveling, we are finally here. As a final sendoff, we treated ourselved to one last American meal at Fuddruckers and a final Starbucks (which I spilled all over myself when I spazzed out when our flight was called). A hellacious flight next to screaming kids and a chair that wouldn't recline, and an hour 'lightening delay' and we were in F'furt. By the way, Frankfurt airport sucks. But then we hopped our flight to Astana and got here safe and sound late last night. Our translator G, our coordinator B, and our driver (whose name I haven't mastered quite yet) met us and helped us get situated at the hotel. Then, on 3 hours of sleep, we had a big talk with our peeps who told us we had to get to the Ministry of Education super early to beat the other couple who had also just gotten here. So here we are, showered and ready to go at the crack of dawn. I guess we're a little jet lagged but we're raring to go. We'll let you know what happens! -m
