Walking between Continents







Today the boys and I walked from Europe to Asia and back again. In Atyrau, KZ the Ural River separates the two continents. We drive over this bridge everyday to take Mason to school. How often can you say you go to school on another continent? It only takes about 15 mintues to get there from our house, but I think it is pretty neat to say.

It wasn't the best day to walk being it cold and dusty, but not unusual weather for around here. The boys always enjoy looking at the river to see what is going on. The water is murky and dirty, but during the summer many people swim and fish in it. I can't wait for winter to go ice fishing and skating on the river. It does get that cold here. I have even heard that cars drive on the river. Can't wait to see that.
