In late 1999, I was Program Recruiter for ACCELS/ACTR in Kyrgyzstan for 4 months.  During this short time, I was able to journey to the majority of the towns and cities by car.  One of those small cities was called Naryn where the Naryn River, one of the head rives for the Syr Darya, flows.  It is a beautiful city with a picturesque mountains scenes.  I took many of the photos from the top of a minaret at the local mosque with the help of some young boys.

Karatau, Kazakhstan.
Black (Kara) Mountain (Tau) in the local Kazakhstan language.

My home from August, 1997, until June, 1999, where I served as a Peace Corps Voluteer teaching English and computers.

Karatau was the only place where I could sleep 8-10 hours each night.

I miss my Kazakh host family, the Orazimbetovs.

I miss my host mother’s beshbarmaq.

Thank you Karatau for leading me to the starting point of my destiny…
