Almost immediately after my return from Petersburg, I went into the Altai Mountains for the last time. This time I went with two of my host families, some other Rotary people, and this crazy Hollywood movie star originally from Altai who was visiting home and who my host parents knew. (He's been a bad guy in some DeNiro film. Rawwwk.)
We traveled about 12 hours away from Barnaul near the Mongolia border to the largest lake in Altai, Lake Teletskoe. This was by far the best trip I took anywhere all year.
(I have hundreds of photos from this trip because all the Rotary people gave me copies of their photos, too, but I'm not so much of a loser to actually go through all of them, so these are some of my favorites from my own photos.)
