Great
day for travel
ing east of Almaty for 3 1/2 hours to Charin Canyon, Kazakhstan’s little Grand Canyon. That meant 7 hours in our Mercedes passenger bus and four hours of taking in the scenery. It was worth it, especially ending our day with getting shashlik at a little town about an hour going back over washboardy roads and isolated highway. I saw wild purple irises, red poppies, yellow buttercups and wild yellow tulips along the side of the road. Fun to be with friends and take the panoramic view in.
