For our farewell dinner we went to a local spot where they played videos of birds with disco music. We had a (several) bottles of REAL red wine, an assortment of local and Chinese dishes, and lots of laughs. I will miss these folks a lot. They were possibly the best part of this amazing adventure thus far.
Our new family member, Sheena, from British Colombia, joined in. She'll work n just fine.
Our full day in Bishkek included a visit to the local market where I bought a toilet seat...more on that later. We toured the city, its gardens and parks, and went to afrw museums. Really nice! This place is a garden city and claims to be the greenest on Central Asia.
We went to a German restaurant for our final goodbyes and enjoyed great sausages and really good beer. Tomorrow we begin our trek toward Tougart Pass and into CHINA! Yippee!
