Math umbrellas - in my hotel

Look at the picture below! If the number of yellow umbrellas = y and the number of green umbrellas = g, how much is y + g?

If you take away the number of umbrellas on the left side, from the number of umbrellas on the right side, how many umbrellas are left?

Send me your answers!! I have more math coming. I love you!

Before Ice Cream... Cake!

They like their sweets in Kazakhstan!

Chemical engineering Kazakh-style

Today I visited a metallurgical plant in Ust-Kamenogorsk. They process beryllium, trezium and uranium. 

I thought the chemical engineer in the house would appreciate the picture of the plant (which is enormous!). And Aurora and Amalia would appreciate the murals painted on the walls surrounding the plant. My favorite mural is the last one with the circle of dancers. Which is your favorite?

Elaine, tomorrow I will have a picture for you!

Can you read the name of the airline I flew on today?

Sidewalks = Patterns

Look at all the different patterns of pavement I saw on the 3 block walk to our restaurant yesterday! Do you have a favorite? Will you draw me a repeating pattern you would like to see on a sidewalk and take a picture and email it?

I took this picture on my way from Almaty to Semey.

I hope you can find Almaty on this map. What is the name of one of Kazakhstan's neighbors?
