My flights were fairly uneventful. The only problem was a two hour delay on the airplane in Newark due to wind and rain. Since I already had a 12 hour layover, the two hour delay did not effect any of my other travel. In amsterdam I left the aiport and went on a canal tour. It was an interesting way to see the city, although I am not sure it is a good idea to sit on a slow-moving boat when jet-lagging. At least I stayed awake. It was nice to get out of the airport though. Thankfully the young child on the plane to Almaty didn't scream after take-off. I was worried that it was going to be a long flight, but it ended up going pretty quickly as I slept during most of the trip.
Tomorrow will be our drive to Taraz. I will get to spend some time with my Kazakh family in the evening. Then we will head to Vanofka orphanage for three days. I will try to update you as much as possible! I am looking forward to seeing Kazakhstan through the eyes of this group of youth.
