Ala Archa


On Sat, I went to Ala Archa with a couple of girlfriends. It's a national park that's only about half an hour south of Bishkek. We were blessed with a lovely day and beautiful scenery. It was so good to be out of the city for a bit - the air was noticeably fresher and cleaner, and it was a marvel to see snow that was deep and white. Snow in Bishkek doesn't stay white or snowy very long before it becomes slush, mud, or ice, but the snow on the slopes of Ala Archa was the kind of snow that you put up with cold winters for.
