Excursions

We have taken a few strolls along the countryside. Our Instructional Director, Mr. Reimes, enjoys the outdoors. He and his family have lead a few trips to very scenic areas outside of Almaty. Kazakhstan is in many ways a geological wonder. Its old capital, Almaty is nestled against the Tien Shen Mountains. The mountains are glacier laden and physically imposing. With the plains stretching far out from Almaty, the mountains hold the city in cup-like fashion.
