#76: Issykul on Weekends

A group of 9 people is leaving Bishkek today at 6 pm towards Cholponata, where B. booked a few places for us to stay. Although it is raining cats and dogs in Bishkek (my feet were soaked as I walked back to the office from lunch), I am hoping that it will be warm enough to swim and sunny enough to get some tan. I might even have to do some shaman dances and fir tree burning tonight to call for my ancestors to bring us good weather.

No sign of sunny weather in Bishkek. No wind at all. Rain pouring non-stop. Grey clouds above Bishkek as far as you can see.
