adventures in kazakhstan: part three

some droplets of liquid falling from the sky sort of killed our plans for the waterfall hike on sunday... but rest assured we went out anyway in the hopes it would clear up.  along the way we were entertained by beautiful landscapes that were pretty opposite from what we saw the day before, farm animals that seemed to think the road was their pasture, a trout fishing farm, a famous skating rink and a mountaintop ski area where they will be hosting the 2011 asian winter games.
