Amazing
After we drove through the gates of Kokshetau, I looked out the back of the car window and saw a rainbow - no rain in sight, just a few clouds. So, here we are . . . at the end of our rainbow. Amazing.
Yes, amazing. I am so happy for you, Scott, and Luca. I like her name and that you are keeping Saskia as her nickname, too. Can't wait to see her. Glad that your process might go quick. I am interested in learning more about the area. It is amazing when you fly over Kazakhstan to see how much of it is undeveloped.
Scroll down to the "blog archive" on the right. We were in Kazakhstan from August 28, 2008-October 30, 2008.

Meaning of Alia
Alia (עלייה, Hebrew for "ascent", "ascension", "rising"; علياء, Arabic for "sublime", "highest of the high", "Zenith"). Refers to Jewish immigration to the Land of Israel. It is also a common female name, but can be used by some families in Senegal to name their sons. - Wikipedia
