Could We Please Go Home So I Can Get Out of This Stroller?
Final picture is from our walk home. This is Zhibek Zholi, the big pedestrian mall. Behind the two grumpy guys are rows of beer and shashlik joints - another interesting real estate concept. The entrepreneur rents space which s/he fills with tables and chairs and sells beer and soft drinks; maybe s/he sublets to a guy who grills some meat upfront. Customers get to bring in food that they bought from whomever, wherever.
To the guys’ right (i.e. the left in the picture), is where all the artists who sell incredibly tacky pictures (as in every pedestrian mall in the world) set up. Since these pictures are of horses and yurts and heroically-busted Kazakh maidens, I’ve been thinking about buying one for O, but they are all framed (heavy), so probably not.

Congratulations! I just got to see your blog yesterday. He is almost as cute as Bruno! I'm out at Hampton Bays with friends who adopted a little girl from China last fall. She is something else! Just as lovely as can be. Can't wait to meet Otis.-Nancy
Dear David & Candace,
Congratulations on the newest member of your family! Unfortunately, I have not been able to follow your progress on-line due to the difficulty of
accessing particular websites in China. However, I have been getting updates by way of your e-mails and those of Jessica. I look forward to meeting Otis and seeing you when I return home in September. All the best to you and Otis!
Many Blessings,
Brooks
