At the mosque...




Islam is on the rise in Kazkahstan- here we are in front of the largest mosque in all of Kazakhstan...it was built in 2001 in honor of some Kazakh muslem leader. We got a tour of the entire mosque, but I had to wear this nifty robe over my head and body. Do you think it makes me look virginal? Yeah, I didn't think so either! It is really a beautiful building. Over 1500 men and 1200 women could pray in it at one time. Its huge!
