Today marks five months that Sam and I have been living in Almaty, Kazakhstan. The following is a collection of photos that haven’t yet made their way onto the pages of my blog, but are seriously worth sharing. Thanks, Kazakhstan, for the wonderful, unexpected, and (sometimes) unexplainable ride.

Breakfast.
Dog pals.
