First day of exploration

I arrived in the Capitol city of Astana at around 4:30 in the morning after traveling the equivalent  of a full 40 hour work week.  My exhaustion kicked in the next day when I slept off and on  for the day between meeting people, adventuring with them, and crashing! Haha.  I enjoyed walking around the city and seeing all the new architecture, and how clean and spread out things are.  The city relatively new, and not yet complete, but is slated to be done by 2015. Construction is everywhere, and they are making it really modern.  The grocery stores are awesome too!  Open bins of fresh fruit and veggies, fresh baked goods, hot out of the oven, and of course boat loads of alcohol!!  I actually tried to buy lemonade but wasn't sure if it was non- alcoholic because I couldn't read the label!! Haha! There are also gorgeous statues and memorials around the city.

Anyway, so far, for such a short bit of exploring, everything, and everyone is amazing!!
