Oct 22 - Sunny in Uralsk


Today the sun is out. Our visits with Zarina were magical (see Alex’s Post). I’m feeling a lot less fragile and I’ve gotten our apartment to feel more like a home. I’ve unpacked and scrub and disinfected a bit and did a load of laundry. I just hope I don’t spot the critter that the Bruckner’s (the previous couple) mentioned in their blog. Hey, Hillary B., did you stay in the apartment with the big stuffed Monkey? Maybe I don’t want to know that answer.

The Atrium, Uralsk’s version of the Ramstore, does not have quite the extensive variety as Almaty (i.e. no peanut butter) but you can find almost everything else. The little fast food restaurant in the Atrium has great food and is very reasonable. They have an English menu and the Borsht Soup was fantastic!

Masha or whomever can let you know where to find peanut butter in the pharmacy downtown.

See the cover of the peanut butter here: http://www.jeffholton.com/images/russian_peanut_butter.jpg

We bought that in Uralsk.
