Day in the country







On Sunday, Sergei and Tatiana drove us north from Pavlodar about an hour to see the countryside. We took the road to Siberia, which is only a 2-hour drive from Pavlodar (we cannot go into russia though because we don't have the proper visas). We went out on the Irtysh River to see all the ice fishing! A first for both of us. You may think this is a very macho sport, but notice the 8 inch long fishing rods! They only catch these fish that are about 3 inches long- so they have to catch dozens to make a meal- which requires them, of course, to be out all day. Guys!

Obviously, none of these Ice Fishers have ADHD. They'd last about 2 minutes out there, let me tell you.
