We are now in the town of Azau, in the Baksan Valley. We will be here for two days while we acclimate via day hikes in the surrounding foothills. Today we went for a hike up past a local ski resort which took us to 11400 ft. On the way down we did a little shopping at some local street vendors in the village. Dinner was mystery meat again. Tomorrow we go on another day hike up to a observatory on the other side of the valley.

As Adam A may have mentioned, my updates will probably be shorter for the next week because I am out of GPRS range and can't send email, only SMS.
