Statues around Kostanai.

We took some pictures of the statues around the town. Some are really funny. There is one with a girl sitting on a bench using a laptop. Since we have been here the only laptops we have seen is our and ones at the computer store in the mall. You don’t see people sitting around coffee shops using them. We also noticed that you never see anyone sending text messages. When we asked if they have it here we were told yes. We guess it just hasn’t caught on yet.

Of course we visited Sophia today. She is really trying her best to walk. Today she took about five steps. Most of the time her upper body is going 90 MPH and the lower about 10. Needless to so the result is a very short attempt to walk resulting in one of us grabbing her. It seems like she does best when you don’t expect it and she just goes.

When we got home we went to do a load of laundry, by hand in the tub. You can see by the picture what the water is looking like today. It was worse on the hot side so laundry was done using the cold water gentle cycle today. We really hope this improves before our morning shower.

Yesterday morning we decided that we would head into town for breakfast after our visit at the baby house. We usually go back to the apartment and eat ceral or what ever we have. We had wanted to try a breakfast dish at Dolce Vita, one of our favorite places to eat without our translator present. We had eggs with ham, onions and tomatoes. It was served baked in a casserole dish. It did not have the egg yokes but was very good. Sitting next to us was 5 women also eating. They were doing vodka shots for breakfast. When we left they were on their second bottle. The funny thing is they looked like typical office workers. We're guessing they got off early.
