Beginning First Full Day in Almaty

I was the last teacher to arrive and only had about an hour to check into my room before our first group meeting.  After introduction, itinerary review and a double check of papers, we all went out to dinner and had a chance to learn more about each other and our schools. 

This is the hotel. I'll just have one more night here before heading off to Kyrgyzstan. 

There will be much more exciting sites to come. For now I'm off for a bit of breakfast.
