We made it to Almaty!

We are here!  Our train was 6.5 hours late getting to Taraz.  We didn't get on until 4am.  We headed to the train station at 9:30 pm but were told it was 3 hours late.  So we went back to the hotel and they were nice enough to give us our rooms for a couple of hours.  We took a nap then headed back to the station at midnight.  We were then told it would still be another 3.5 hours.  We decided to wait there this time. 

I will save the story of the train ride for later since my minutes are about to run out=)

The hotel Kazzhol is very nice!  We were pleasantly surprised=)  We are all doing well, though Alina had a fever yesterday and is sniffly today.  We go to her medical appt. on Monday and then to the embassy on Tuesday!

Kara & Marsha,
I have been following your journey and pray that each day goes well. Hopefully one day I will be able to meet all the Docter girls and their mom and dad. God bless and keep you safe. Cousin Darline
