Early Thursday morning we arrived in Frankfurt. The United Airlines flight from Chicago was full. Nancy and I sat in the economy plus section of the airplane. The extra 5" between seats makes the flight much easier. If you are flying United, I highly recommend paying the extra fee, especially on long flights. In Frankfurt we had a short wait for our plane to take us to Almaty, Kazakhstan. We flew Lufthansa to Almaty with one stop in the Kazakhstan capital of Astana. When we got to Almaty, Tasha's adoption agency had a representative meet us. The flight to our final destination, Qyzylorda, was almost full. Only 1 seat was available so Nancy and I told Tasha to take the seat and we would stay in Almaty. An early Saturday morning flight was available. We stayed in the Almaty Hotel.
The reason for the full flight was 30 new Peace Corp volunteers were heading to Qyzylorda. Qyzlorda is spelled many ways. I am using the spelling shown in my World Atlas.
Ossineke, MI this date in 1938. GG gave the score of the Friday night baseball game, Ossineke 1, Alpena 3. It was Saturday and the weather was partly cloudy and warmer by noon. GG drove to Alpena and noted that the banks were closed.
