Sight seeing in Petropavlovsk

The wise King of Petro...receiving his guests in 18th centry.
This room in his residence was really cool to see in person. All the beautiful rugs, furs, and many other treasures. This room was the place to be!
The ladies entering the beautiful private residence of the 18th centry King.
This buidling has just been renovated the last 2 years and the building was dedicated by the now president of Kazakhstan: Nazerbaev.
The Kinneys going to church. This cathedral is a Russian Orthodox church and it is the oldest in Petro. The city was named after the two saints: Peter and Paul...Petropavlovsk.
With help from many donations the church was having alot of out side renovations...it was very hard to take a full pix of church.
Inside ...the ladies had to cover up their hair with scarfs. The walls and ceilings had the most beautiful paintings of religeous scenary.
