Notes from Shubornik...

Hey, thought you would like these photos- I’m a regular Allen Funt, aye? First photo is from the "man lift", and oh, by the way, the helmet he stole. The second is Terry climbing Kupol rock. I will let him tell that story. Third photo is he at the bottom of the rock and I at the top. The next one is Randy and Terry with Kupol rock in the background. And last (literally), but not least Randy and Terry about 3 photos before my camera died. We are treated very well, but they think I am Canadian and that Randy and I are brothers. You know how all us Americans look the same…HA HA. We miss all the amenities that we as Americans take for granted. Some of these people work here for months and although it might seem intolerable, it is all some of these people have to look forward to. These people are not as different as some might want you to think. The only difference is what they and we deem important.
We miss you all and hope to be home soon. (loosely translated: before our visas expire!)
Larry, a/k/a Shubornik
P.S. Russian word for today is van toos’. (emphasis on the toos’, which from what I understand is the same in Russian (go figure) for plunger…I really hope nobody hears THIS story..!
