Two wasted days actually. Yesterday I had a few things planned. One involved getting my visa to Kazakhstan. It turns out that the consular services are only open from 9-12. I found this out at 12:30. Then, later in the day as I was about to go out to run some errands I got a phone call from the post office. After getting to someone who spoke English I found out that they were coming to drop something off to me. (Sarah?) I assumed that meant soon, or even during the day. After waiting outside for about an hour, I went back to my apartment, waited another hour until it was around 5:30 and I figured they won't be coming anytime soon. It's a national holiday both today and Monday, so I figure I won't hear anything about that again until Tuesday. Maybe I'll try picking it up from them.
And then there is today. As I said - a holiday. So after being 75 and sunny for the last 6 days, it rains today and isn't going above 60. I'm almost tempted to work just because I don't exactly feel like walking around in the rain outside. Actually I will work today - I have about $3600 worth of charges on my credit card from the last trip that I need to be reimbursed and I still need to itemize all of the charges. But other than that, I'm celebrating whatever it is the people are celebrating here. All I know is that it used to be a big soviet holiday, which is why the anti-capitalism rally is today.

You haven't given me your address, so it isn't from me, nor have I made arrangements with your handler, Vaughn. Don't forget that Cinco de Mayo is Tuesday, and the Derby is tomorrow. Try to find some margaritas Tuesday and some mint juleps tomorrow.
