Yest Visa!

Astana is the coldest place on earth. Well, the last two times I've been there anyway. -37c is practically -37f (I think Jon calls it "minus ungodly) and it was windy today. I'm wearing 12 geese worth of down and Alana's got an entire sheep on, but we were still cold. Still, our trip today went super-smooth and we got our visas! Of course, the lady filled them out in front of us, which took some of the magic out of the visa process. The plan now is to leave Tuesday and return on the Saturday after next (almost two weeks).
