Our holiday in Altaj happened so fast we were home before we knew what is going on, but we enjoyed it very much.
Oh, yes, we told all our friends about what we saw and friendly people we met. Although we are not skilled with photography we managed to took some good pictures and we showed them to all our friends. I even showed them to my colleagues at work.
But I would appreciate if you could send me the name of the historian you talked about and the title of his book. I would be pleased to study some more about Altaj.
Well, Dimitrij, be well and give my regards to Saša.
