Today we went on a gondola ride up the mountain for more beautiful views of the city.
TJ on the gondola. Believe it or not, TJ looked better than mama.
In front of an apple fountain. Almaty's name was originally Alma Alta which means grandfather apple. We've enjoyed a lot of good apples here.
Enjoying the views with papa. 
The city of Almaty. There are a lot of construction cranes in this city. You can see the money pouring in. In fact, we were asked by quite a few people if we were here for the oil business.
Well tomorrow is our last day in Almaty! Hooray! We'll post one more time before we leave for our 20+ hour trip home. We did buy a bunch of little toys that will hopefully keep TJ occupied, but it's going to be ugly....

Almaty does look like a beautiful city. I hope they are also working on alternative fuels. They don't need any more pollution...I stopped at 33 Bissett on my way home from the shore. Cindy followed me around the whole time. Even Syd made several appearances, especially when I had the back door open. Don't worry. They didn't get out. Wait til you see your tomatoes! Enjoy your last day in Almaty!
Love ya,
Mom
Two more days!!!!! Your neighbors keep asking when you will return and the kitties really need some full-time companionship. I will be at the house tomorrow making a pot roast for Wednesday's dinner (beef, not horsemeat!) AND mashed potatoes for TJ! Thanks for the lovely pictures of Almaty. Love...love...love...
Almaty looks like it really does have some beautiful sights. I'm glad that you were able to make the most of your time there and see some of the scenery. I know you must be happy that day 35 is finally here . . . safe travels! Looking forward to seeing you soon!
Love,
Jenn
Thanks for the pictures of Almaty. Your blog has been an education for all of us (and you, too, for sure !!). Have a safe trip back to the USA and we hope to see you soon & meet TJ.
Love, Aunt Susan & Uncle Don
