A Day Out

Today we did not get to Taylor so instead Baheet and Gulsana took us out sightseeing. We went to a place to horseback ride, which was a nice change of pace. It was not what we had expected but fun none the less.

At the horse ranch there were camels. Tony decided to pet one, at least it didn't spit on him!


Afterwards we went to Baiterik and were able to go up in it. From here we were able to see the entire city. It was very neat and exciting because we actually knew what some of the buildings were! At the top we put our hands into the gold mold and made a wish. It is tradition to do so and we were told that the wishes usually come true. I hope so!





After Baiterik we went to the Palace of Peace. Inside there is an opera theatre, a silver and gold museum, a winter garden, and a meeting hall. There is also inside the palace, a place to stand and raise your hands to the ceiling and make a wish. I hope these wishes come true.





This is the women's statue outside the Palace of Peace.

These trees are outside the Palace. Don't they look like the Lego trees?!



To waiting families:
What do we do when we are not at the baby house? Hmm... lets see. We have a few families here now so we tend to get together with them a lot. Movie nights will be a frequent activity. We walk a lot! And I mean a lot. There is only so much I can do in the apartment... Tony would love it if I could just relax! We will be doing more things like we did today. There is a resort that we will be going to soon. It has swimming, hiking, etc. I cant wait!
