Dear Svetlana

Thank you so much for a lovely day yesterday. I really enjoyed myself not only seeing sites but also getting so much more perspective and knowledge of life here in Kasachstan. I really liked the camp at Berkara and hope your son and possibly also you future English teacher daughter will enjoy themselves there this summer.

Last night I walked through Taraz and took some lovely photos of the city and of a bunch of school kids who were celebrating their last day at school. Perhaps before I leave today I will go up to the square and take some more, just to have some of this town. 
You also have my address in Berlin, if your roads ever cross that city, you or any of your family would always be welcome. Thank you and a favour.

Take good care of yourself and thanks again for a lovely day. I still hold it in a wonderful memory and often think of my so good time I had in Kasachstan. 

Much love

Здравствуйте, Светлана!
Я хорошо доехала до дома. Сейчас уже в обычных буднях, как будто я не ездила в горы :). 
Нам очень понравилось, мы провели чудесное время - спасибо вам. Да, сегодня Пол писал - что в горах уже снег лежит. Так что, действительно нам повезло. Спасибо за картинки. Буду всегда рада вам. Удачи вам!
