A funny Kazakhstan story

So, during this travel conference Bruce just attended, it sounds as though he told quite a few people that we were traveling to Kazakhstan as a means of explaining why he would be incommunicado for 2 months. And he got quite a few responses. Many people had heard it was beautiful, and nice country, etc. But one guy told him that he worked with a company that did some work in Kaz. And needed to travel there for business. And part of the trip (a long part from the sounds of things) took place in a windowless van with a dead sheep. "Why a dead sheep?" I asked. "Because somewhere along the way they stopped and cooked it" came the reply. Well, naturally. There is a good chance I will come home re-vegetarianized.

Hi Lynne, Bruce and Jaden. Just got back today and wanted to connect with you guys. (Great story about the sheep/van by the way. Wow. Yikes! Hmm. Good luck with that.) I've just been thinking about you guys and wanted to wish you well - especially these next couple of days. Many many blessings. And, happy belated birthday. Love, steph

Lynne, Bruce and Jaden,

This is all almost too much to even take in from the comfort of my own home, but I am loving every detail of this enormous "trip!!" Hang in there as I know you all will. Joy will come.
Thinking of you all the way...
Love,
Gina, Andy, Max, Jordan and Serena
