Day 28: Gold!

I landed back in rainy Astana today and the cool weather felt like a relief after so much sun and heat over the last weeks.



Nothing better to do on a rainy summer evening than watch the Olympics, so we headed out to meet up with some friends and tune in.

Cycling got more interesting as the Swiss cyclist fell dramatically and the racers reached the finish line with Kazakhstan was in the lead! A Gold for Kazakhstan's Vinokourov! Hooray!
