After such a great trekking in Karakol valley I had three weeks to have a full relaxation before the new coming working year. Here, in Issyk-Kul region of Kyrgyzstan, I had a lot of possibilities to spend my rest-time full of joy, meetings, wimming and sunburning. Issyk-Kul Lake, good summer weather, fresh vegetables and fruits, friends and relatives meetings, fishing and many other things and activities accompanied us this time.
My girls, wife Zhanna and daughter Lyuba, came to Kyrgyzstan in the middle of June and lived in the house of my mother-in-law just near the shore of Issyk-Kul Lake ('SMU' settlement, about 10km from Karakol town). I joined them after my mountains' trip and lived with them until the end of my annual leave.
During these three weeks we met many people. A lot of my friends, classmates and relatives still live in Kyrgyzstan and I was more than happy to meet them again. Below is the list of most valuable meetings of this summer:

• Azatbek Dushembiev and Ruslan Akunov (classmates of mine in the school No.1 of Karakol town) became a very brave fishermen and we went for fishing a few times this year. Most beautiful and productive fishing was on the Lake Issyk-Kul near Tamga village where we were catching a fantastic fish called "Issyk-Kul dace (chebachok)" (Leuciscus bergi - the young and smaller brother of Leuciscus schmidti). Below you can see the photos of this wonderful and delicious fish.

• Askhat Shakurov, my classmate in the school No.11 of Karakol town. He married and became a happy father twice already! We met each other at his dacha near Mikhailovka village where we (me, Zhanna, Askhat's family, Azat and Ruslan) spent one evening having a perfect banya (sauna in russian style) drinking local beer and talking about our life.

• Anna and Jury, my good friends, owners of good computer shop "T&U" in Karakol". Many good rememberances I have about them. This year we had a chance to visit a perfect beach of Issyk-Kul Lake near Mayak ("Lighthouse" in English) village together. Day was very sunny and we spent a wonderful day swimming in the lake Issyk-Kul, sunburning, eating water-melon and talking about all.

• And of course meeting of my mom, younger sister and grandfather. That was and will be the most important reason of visiting Kyrgyzstan. My mother and grandpa live in the village Pristan-Karakol (former Pristan-Przhevalsk) near Lake Issyk-Kul too. We visited them very often and were very happy to talk. My grandfather is long-liver - next year 2008 he is 90 years old!

Lyuba and my mother (Lyuba's grandmother) are in the garden of my grandfather.
Lyuba and my mother in the garden. 		That was needed to collect carrots for the dinner and Lyuba helped my mother. At the photo you can see cucumber bed, then tomatos, cabbage and potatos beds.
Carrots harvest 		One day we decided to go to local cemetery to visit our relatives and children found a wheelbarrow in the garden and I was obliged to be driver this day for them. At photo: Stas and Lyuba in the wheelbarrow and I'm as a driver.
Start travel by wheelbarrow. 		That was a popular shop many years ago (my childhood years). Shop "Volna" at Pristan-Prjevalsk was known even in Karakol (Prjevalsk). Now this hals-abandoned building is still a shop, but view of it is amazing.
Pristan. "Volna" shop.
4 generations in one place. My grandfather, my mother, and our systers-broters with children.
For generations. Summer 2007. 		More and more work was for me these days - I had more passengers every day. To check the quality of wheelbarrow Lyuba asked her grandmother to sit with her and we found that vehicle was good enough for heavy workload.
Increasing workload for wheelbarrow. 		One day our grandfather got a help from local administration - a few poplar logs as a firewood. Nobody cut them of course. And I decided to ask some superman to help. I phoned by the secret number and that's it! - Misa-superman is here. In half an hour all logs were cut and work was finished!
Misha-superman 		Misha and Irina are picking Thyme - very good hern to add to the tea. The 'city' beach is behind of them full of people swimming in this hot day.

Walnuts in Karakol 		After my trekking in Karakol valley I left all my equipment in the house of Masha. Stas immediately decided to try my boots and ice-axe.
Stas is trying my mountain equipment 		Everytime passing this meadow Lyuba disturbed all animals and poultry pasturing there. And in this time she saw small flock of geese and decided to run to them.
Lyuba before start
Geese were already experienced and when Lyuba reached them they were already in the swampy area.
Geese - watch out! 		The meeting of Lyuba and bull-calf on the meadow. The animal was more brave than Lyuba.
Hi bull-calf. Lyuba 		Once Lyuba got a present - bow - from her grandmother Galya. On the next day we were to go to hunting.
Dad, let's go hunting! 		After some time spent in searching of something that could be counted as gamebird of our bow hunting, Lyuba shouted loudly and brought small flower in her hands. We founded a modest kind butterfly which was ranked to some kind of good bow hunting results.
The first gamebird.
While we were walking around we found a wheat-barley field where Lyuba has taken a few spikelets.
Lyuba and wheat-barley field 		Lyuba has found a billet full of wonderful looking mashrooms. Unfortunately we were obliged to tell her that we shouldn't cook a soup from them :-)
Lyuba and mashroom billet 		Lyuba found a foal having a rest near the road and decided to say hello to him more closely.
Lyuba. Hello foal. 		Zhanna, her father and Lyuba are collecting pea in the garden.
