We've been dealing with spurts of boredom right along, but we are definitely bored now. Buffy has read all of the books she brought, Brent is tired of being cooped up and walking around the same places (when he's not cooped up) and Cam even seems bored with his toys!
Buffy still did not feel well today, so we spent most of the day at home, which didn't help the boredom situation.
We did venture out after a while to the internet cafe to see if the guy there would sell us a CD so that we can take the photos that we've stored on the laptop and store them. Given all the security stuff that's going on right now with flying, we don't want to lose the pictures. While at the internet cafe, the guys there started talking to us verbally and using some translation software. They were very nice and one of them even told us about how his grandfather had been exiled here in 1917 by Stalin.
Other semi-interesting news... Brent has gotten hooked on a Russian soap opera. Every weeknight at 10, it comes on and he's tuned in. Neither of us is exactly sure what's going on, but we recognize some words and it is a soap opera, so plots aren't that hard to discern.
Also, we learned from our friend Janet at home that there's a boy scout troop here in Kaz for a jamboree. The Plain Dealer is covering it, if you're interested in reading about their adventures.
We're in the home stretch. Hopefully, we're still on schedule to depart here in about 10 days.
