Kazakhstan

Kazakhstan is awesome. We are so lucky we had the opportunity
to meet the Kazakhstan team.


Yevgeniy Barsukov (17) and Beibit Abay (16) were the
two athletes that stayed at our house. It was challenging to
communicate, but they were so patient with us.


The highlights of our entertainment included a tour of the Bronco
Stadium and a three and 1/2 hour shopping trip to WalMart
where wonderful employee Olga spoke Russian and helped
them find EVERYTHING they wanted to take home to Kazakhstan.


Since there wasn't a lot of communicating done at home, they
stayedwell entertained playing Mark and MaLea's Wii.
I suppose that helped them stay in the competitive mode
for their Floor Hockey events to come.
