Gorno-Altaysk, Russia: Day 29

Stayed the night in a beautiful hotel-strip-club-disco-sushi-parlor-grocery-store. Woke up to find one tire completely flat. Changed it and wheeled to a huddle of serious, bug-eyed mechanics with questions about the nasty sounds clattering from our engine. Putting one end of a stick to his ear and the other to the engine, he diagnosed, “No problem! You go now!”
Siberia is beautiful in the summer.
