Issyk-Kul continued

Well, to our disappointment they didn't turn off the power. Seems like in other districts they have started already, but not in our's!!! Philipp got keroseen today and is still very excited about his new lamp. I will have to post a picture of the two of them soon.

Since I haven't taken many pictures lately, I'll show you some more Issyk-Kul ones. So here you see the lake. It's pretty, because you always (when good weather) see the high snow covered mountains on the other side of the lake. But other than that it feels like being at an ocean. Even the water is a little bit salty - and very clear!

The girl in the picture is my new friend Guillana. She's the 10-year-old daughter of one of Philipp's host sisters. Before we had known each other only from pictures, but now we are big friends! Regardless of our little language barrier...
