Notes: We worked on getting our Russian visas today, but the embassy closed the door for the day as soon as we were next in line. Rats. But Chanda and Todd received help from a travel agency, and we'll have our visas soon. We might be able to leave by Friday. So, we rested today and then went out to explore Almaty's night life. Not bad. We heard some bands play American music. (N.O.)

Help support our cause: The LONGITUDE Expedition is the longest journey ever attempted with a focus on Parkinson's Disease. The Drive Around the World team aims to raise money for Parkinson’s Disease research by driving four Certified, Pre-Owned Land Rover Discoverys around the globe following lines of longitude. Readers are encouraged to pledge small amounts of money per expedition-kilometer via a pledge form that can be found on our Parkinson’s page by clicking HERE. One hundred percent of donations received go directly to Parkinson's research, and all who donate $10 or more will be entered into a raffle to win an expedition-equipped Land Rover Discovery.
